Levels of von Willebrand factor antigen and von Willebrand factor cleaving protease (ADAMTS13) activity predict clinical events in chronic heart failure. [PDF]
, 2009 Decreased activity of ADAMTS13, the von Willebrand factor (VWF) cleaving protease, was recently reported in cardiovascular diseases and in hepatic failure.

Nucleosomes and neutrophil extracellular traps in septic and burn patients [PDF]
, 2017 NETosis is a host defense mechanism associated with inflammation and tissue damage. Experimental models show that platelets and von Willebrand factor (VWF) are key elements for intravascular NETosis. We determined NETosis in septic and burn patients at 1

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.

VWF, WM, and angiogenesis: is there a link? [PDF]
Blood, 2012 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 ...

Global Thrombosis Test - a possible monitoring system for the effects and safety of dabigatran [PDF]
, 2015 © Otsui et al. 2015BACKGROUND: Dabigatran is an alternative to warfarin (WF) for the thromboprophylaxis of stroke in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF). The advantage of dabigatran over WF is that monitoring is not required; however, a

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.
