Levels of von Willebrand factor antigen and von Willebrand factor cleaving protease (ADAMTS13) activity predict clinical events in chronic heart failure. [PDF]
Decreased activity of ADAMTS13, the von Willebrand factor (VWF) cleaving protease, was recently reported in cardiovascular diseases and in hepatic failure.

Utility of microfluidic devices to study the platelet–endothelium interface
The integration of biomaterials and understanding of vascular biology has led to the development of perfusable endothelialized flow models, which have been used as valuable tools to study the platelet–endothelium interface under shear.

VWF clearance: it’s glycomplicated [PDF]
In this issue of Blood , Ward et al demonstrate that a loss of sialic acids turns von Willebrand factor (VWF) into a ligand for the scavenger-receptor macrophage galactose-type lectin (MGL ...

Increased plasma von Willebrand factor antigen levels but normal von Willebrand factor cleaving protease (ADAMTS13) activity in preeclampsia. [PDF]
The activity of ADAMTS13, the von Willebrand factor (VWF) cleaving protease is low in several conditions, including HELLP (haemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, and low platelet count) syndrome.

Immunofluorescent staining with vWF.
Immunofluorescent staining with vWF showed a decrease in the number of vWF-positive cells in the group with BOO and an increase in vWF-positive cells after transplantation of hMSCs. The effect was enhanced by hMSCs.HGF. The merged cells expressing yellow

Application of microfluidic devices in studies of thrombosis and hemostasis
Due to the importance of fluid flow during thrombotic episodes, it is quite appropriate to study clotting and bleeding processes in devices that have well-defined fluid shear environments.

Terminal sialylation determines the plasma half-life of von Willebrand factor (VWF). A role for macrophage galactose lectin (MGL) in regulating hyposialylated VWF clearance has recently been proposed.

VWF, WM, and angiogenesis: is there a link? [PDF]
In this issue of Blood , Hivert et al systematically examine the acquired reduction of von Willebrand factor (VWF) activity in patients with Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia (WM), but, surprisingly, they found that the high levels of VWF were a significant independent adverse prognostic factor.[1 ...

Staphylococcus aureus vWF-binding protein triggers a strong interaction between clumping factor A and host vWF [PDF]
The Staphylococcus aureus cell wall-anchored adhesin ClfA binds to the very large blood circulating protein, von Willebrand factor (vWF) via vWF-binding protein (vWbp), a secreted protein that does not bind the cell wall covalently. Here we perform force
