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 ...

Evaluation of coagulation activation after Rhinovirus infection in patients with asthma and healthy control subjects: an observational study [PDF]
Background Asthma exacerbations are frequently triggered by rhinovirus infections. Both asthma and respiratory tract infection can activate haemostasis. Therefore we hypothesized that experimental rhinovirus-16 infection and asthmatic airway inflammation

Diagnosis of von Willebrand disease in Argentina: a single institution experience [PDF]
von Willebrand disease (VWD) is the most common autosomal bleeding disorder, mostlyinherited as dominant trait. VWD is due to deficiency/abnormality of von Willebrand factor (VWF).

Numerous studies have proven a close relationship between inflammatory diseases and the state of hypercoagulability. In fact, thromboembolic complications represent one of the main causes of disability and mortality in acute and chronic inflammatory ...

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 ...

The ratio of VEGF/PEDF expression in bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells regulates neovascularization [PDF]
Angiogenesis, or neovascularization, is a finely balanced process controlled by pro- and anti-angiogenic factors. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a major pro-angiogenic factor, whereas pigment epithelial-derived factor (PEDF) is the most ...
