Inflammation, von Willebrand factor, and ADAMTS13.

Blood, 2018
Increasing evidence indicates that inflammation can cause thrombosis by a von Willebrand factor (VWF)-mediated mechanism that includes endothelial activation, secretion of VWF, assembly of hyperadhesive VWF strings and fibers, cleavage by ADAMTS13, and ...

Pregnancy and delivery in women with von Willebrand’s disease and different von Willebrand factor mutations

Haematologica, 2010
Background Pregnancy in von Willebrand’s disease may carry a significant risk of bleeding. Information on changes in factor VIII and von Willebrand factor and pregnancy outcome in relation to von Willebrand factor gene mutations are very scanty.Design ...

von Willebrand factor activity and activated partial thromboplastin time as proxy biomarkers for coagulopathies in women with menorrhagia in Zambia: a case-control study

The Pan African Medical Journal, 2021
INTRODUCTION: von Willebrand Disease (vWD) is the most prevalent bleeding disorder. Women are more likely to manifest abnormal bleeding symptoms due to physiologic events and menorrhagia is the most common presenting symptom.

Von Willebrand factor revisited

Journal of Interventional Cardiology, 2017
Degenerative aortic valve stenosis is the most common valvular heart disease seen in developed countries. Since the implementation of transcatheter aortic valve replacement, there has been a surge of efforts to improve procedural technique as well as reduce mortality.

Von Willebrand Disease [PDF]

, 2017
Von Willebrand Disease (VWD) is a blood clotting disorder characterized by low levels of the Von Willebrand Factor (VWF) in the blood. VWF is functions to bind platelets and promote clotting of the blood when vascular injury occurs.

Insights into pathological mechanisms of missense mutations in C-terminal domains of von Willebrand factor causing qualitative or quantitative von Willebrand disease

Haematologica, 2013
The carboxyl-terminal domains of von Willebrand factor, D4-CK, are cysteine-rich implying that they are structurally important. In this study we characterized the impact of five cysteine missense mutations residing in D4-CK domains on the conformation ...

Levels of von Willebrand factor antigen and von Willebrand factor cleaving protease (ADAMTS13) activity predict clinical events in chronic heart failure. [PDF]

, 2009
Decreased activity of ADAMTS13, the von Willebrand factor (VWF) cleaving protease, was recently reported in cardiovascular diseases and in hepatic failure.

The von Willebrand factor D'D3 assembly and structural principles for factor VIII binding and concatemer biogenesis.

Blood, 2019
D assemblies make up half of the von Willebrand factor (VWF), yet are of unknown structure. D1 and D2 in the prodomain and D'D3 in mature VWF at Golgi pH form helical VWF tubules in Weibel Palade bodies and template dimerization of D3 through disulfides ...

Hemostatic factors and risk of coronary heart disease in general populations: new prospective study and updated meta-analyses [PDF]

, 2013
<p>Background: Activation of blood coagulation and fibrinolysis may be associated with increased risk of coronary heart disease. We aimed to assess associations of circulating tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) antigen, D-dimer and von Willebrand ...

The Role of von Willebrand Factor in Vascular Inflammation: From Pathogenesis to Targeted Therapy

Mediators of Inflammation, 2017
Beyond its role in hemostasis, von Willebrand factor (VWF) is an emerging mediator of vascular inflammation. Recent studies highlight the involvement of VWF and its regulator, ADAMTS13, in mechanisms that underlie vascular inflammation and ...
