Microfluidic flow chambers using reconstituted blood to model hemostasis and platelet transfusion in vitro [PDF]

, 2016
Blood platelets prepared for transfusion gradually lose hemostatic function during storage. Platelet function can be investigated using a variety of (indirect) in vitro experiments, but none of these is as comprehensive as microfluidic flow chambers.

Emerging Strategies for Platelet‐Modified Nanoparticles in Targeted Tumor Therapy

Advanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
This review highlights innovative strategies using platelet‐modified nanoparticles to target tumors more precisely. By mimicking platelet functions, these biomimetic carriers improve tumor homing, enhance drug delivery, and reduce immune clearance.

The integrin-binding defective FGF2 mutants potently suppress FGF2 signalling and angiogenesis. [PDF]

, 2017
We recently found that integrin αvβ3 binds to fibroblast growth factor (FGF)-αvβ31 (FGF1), and that the integrin-binding defective FGF1 mutant (Arg-50 to glutamic acid, R50E) is defective in signalling and antagonistic to FGF1 signalling. R50E suppressed

Antiphospholipid Syndrome: An Antibody‐Mediated Disease With Emerging Therapeutic Opportunities

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is an autoimmune thromboinflammatory disease characterized by vascular thrombosis, pregnancy morbidity, and other manifestations driven by antiphospholipid autoantibodies. In this review, we present a clinical case that illustrates some diagnostic and therapeutic challenges in managing severe, relapsing APS ...

The epitope of the antibody used in the REAADS VWF activity assay is quaternary

Thrombosis Journal
The REAADS VWF activity assay is often assumed to be specific for the A1 domain, the portion of VWF that binds platelet GPIbα. We tested this assay on the A1A2A3 region of VWF with each domain expressed independently of one another and together in ...

DISCOVERY OF TYPE 3 VON WILLEBRAND DISEASE IN A COHORT OF PATIENTS WITH SUSPECTED HEMOPHILIA A IN CÔTE D’IVOIRE

Mediterranean Journal of Hematology and Infectious Diseases, 2020
Aim : Type 3 von Willebrand disease (VWD) is the most severe form of VWD, characterized by a near-total absence of von Willebrand factor (vWF) leading to a huge deficiency in plasmatic factor VIII (FVIII). VWD may be confused with hemophilia A, sometimes

The Thigh Saphenous Vein Versus the Calf Saphenous Vein: Searching for the Optimal Conduit for Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The quality of saphenous vein (SV) grafts can vary depending on the site from which they are harvested. However, few studies have compared SV grafts harvested from the thigh with those harvested from the calf to explore which is more appropriate for use in coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). In this study, we evaluated the graft

Characterization of the defect of the factor VIII/von Willebrand factor protein in von Willebrand's disease [PDF]

Blood, 1982
Abstract The factor VIII/von Willebrand factor (f.VIII/vWf) protein was purified from the plasma of a patient with von Willebrand's disease (vWd). The patient had all of the classic laboratory findings of vWd except for the ristocetin-induced platelet aggregation of his own platelet-rich plasma.
