Clearance of von Willebrand factor [PDF]
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 ...

Clearance of von Willebrand factor [PDF]
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
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.

Flow-induced elongation of von Willebrand factor precedes tension-dependent activation
Von Willebrand factor, an ultralarge concatemeric blood protein, must bind to platelet GPIbα during bleeding to mediate hemostasis, but not in the normal circulation to avoid thrombosis.

Zebrafish von Willebrand factor [PDF]
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).
