Enhanced VWF biosynthesis and elevated plasma VWF due to a natural variant in the murine Vwf gene
Blood, 2006 Abstract Both genetic and environmental influences contribute to the wide variation in plasma von Willebrand factor (VWF) levels observed in humans. Inbred mouse strains also have highly variable plasma VWF levels, providing a convenient model in which to study genetic modifiers of VWF.

Application of microfluidic devices in studies of thrombosis and hemostasis
Platelets, 2017 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.

Wind field and sex constrain the flight speeds of central-place foraging albatrosses [PDF]
, 2009 By extracting energy from the highly dynamic wind and wave fields that typify pelagic habitats, albatrosses are able to proceed almost exclusively by gliding flight.

Finite VEVs from a Large Distance Vacuum Wave Functional [PDF]
, 1998 We show how to compute vacuum expectation values from derivative expansions of the vacuum wave functional. Such expansions appear to be valid only for slowly varying fields, but by exploiting analyticity in a complex scale parameter we can reconstruct ...

Utility of microfluidic devices to study the platelet–endothelium interface
Platelets, 2017 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.

Complex changes in von Willebrand factor-associated parameters are acquired during uncomplicated pregnancy. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 BACKGROUND:The coagulation protein von Willebrand Factor (VWF) is known to be elevated in pregnancy. However, the timing and nature of changes in VWF and associated parameters throughout pregnancy are not well understood.
