VWF propeptide and ratios between VWF, VWF propeptide, and FVIII in the characterization of type 1 von Willebrand disease [PDF]
Key Points VWFpp/VWF:Ag and FVIII:C/VWF:Ag ratios define the pathophysiological mechanisms that play a role in VWD and various VWF mutations. A high VWFpp/VWF:Ag ratio indicates increased clearance of VWF and a high FVIII:C/VWF:Ag ratio decreased synthesis of VWF.

Functioning of the ADAMTS-13/vWF axis and its clinical significance
Advances in biology have allowed us to substantially deepen our knowledge about hemostasis functioning both in health and disease. ADAMTS-13 (a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin type 1 motif, member 13) and von Willebrand factor (vWF)

Clinical significance of ADAMTS-13/vWF axis in pregnant women at different trimesters of gestation
Introduction. The pandemic of a novel coronavirus infection has demonstrated the importance of assessing the ADAMTS-13/vWF axis in patients with COVID-19, because a decline in this ratio mirrors disease severity.

In this issue of Blood , Feng and coworkers present data suggesting a role for von Willebrand factor (VWF) in the proteolytic inactivation of complement C3b by factor I (CFI).[1][1] Whereas smaller VWF multimers, especially dimers, tetramers, and hexamers, enhance C3b inactivation by CFI, large ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.
