von Willebrand factor and inflammation [PDF]
Journal of Thrombosis and Haemostasis, 2017 Von Willebrand factor (VWF) is a plasma glycoprotein best known for its crucial hemostatic role in serving as a molecular bridge linking platelets to subendothelial components following vascular injury. In addition, VWF functions as chaperone for coagulation factor VIII. In pathological settings, VWF is recognized as a risk factor for both arterial and

Macrophage scavenger receptor SR-AI contributes to the clearance of von Willebrand factor
Haematologica, 2018 Previously, we found that LDL-receptor related protein-1 on macrophages mediated shear stress-dependent clearance of von Willebrand factor. In control experiments, however, we observed that von Willebrand factor also binds to macrophages independently of

von Willebrand Disease: The diagnosis and management of this bleeding disorder
Medical Journal of Babylon, 2020 von Willebrand disease (vWD) is one of the most common bleeding disorders, first described by Erik von Willebrand in the Aland Islands. It occurs as a result of decreased or abnormal von Willebrand factor (vWF), a factor that is needed in the process of ...

Clearance of von Willebrand factor [PDF]
Thrombosis and Haemostasis, 2008 SummaryThe life cycle of von Willebrand factor (VWF) comprises a number of distinct steps, ranging from the controlled expression of theVWF gene in endothelial cells and megakaryocytes to the removal of VWF from the circulation. The various aspects of VWF clearance have been the objects of intense research in the last few years, stimulated by ...

Zebrafish von Willebrand factor [PDF]
Blood Cells, Molecules, and Diseases, 2010 von Willebrand factor (vWF) is a large protein involved in primary hemostasis. A dysfunction in this protein or an insufficient production of the protein leads to improper platelet adhesion/aggregation, resulting in a bleeding phenotype known as von Willebrand disease (vWD).

The role of von Willebrand factor in determining the risk of ischemic stroke in Hawler city: a case-control study [PDF]
Zanco Journal of Medical Sciences, 2018 Background and objective: Ischemic stroke is classically characterized as a neurological deficit attributed to an acute focal injury of the central nervous system by a vascular cause, it occurs as a result of obstruction by a blood clot (thrombus) or ...

Clearance of von Willebrand factor [PDF]
Journal of Thrombosis and Haemostasis, 2013 Quantitative deficiencies in von Willebrand factor (VWF) are associated with abnormal hemostasis that can manifest in bleeding or thrombotic complications. Consequently, many studies have endeavored to elucidate the mechanisms underlying the regulation of VWF plasma levels. This review focuses on the role of VWF clearance pathways.

Ibrutinib effect in acquired von Willebrand syndrome secondary to Waldenström macroglobulinemia
Therapeutic Advances in Hematology, 2021 The pathological increase of clonal IgM in Waldenström macroglobulinemia can be associated with acquired von Willebrand syndrome and can be a major risk of bleeding symptoms in this subgroup of patients with Waldenström macroglobulinemia.
