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.

Diagnostic Value of Measuring Platelet Von Willebrand Factor in Von Willebrand Disease. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
Von Willebrand disease (VWD) may be caused by an impaired von Willebrand factor (VWF) synthesis, its increased clearance or abnormal function, or combinations of these factors.

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 ...

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.

Comparative analysis of TRPM8 gene and COPD markers expression in rat lungs following exposure to cigarette smoke and tobacco aerosol

Acta Biomedica Scientifica
Background. Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) remains a global medical and social problem. The ion channel TRPM8, a cold receptor, is known to be involved in the pathogenesis of the disease.

ADAMTS13 Deficiency Worsens Colitis and Exogenous ADAMTS13 Administration Decreases Colitis Severity in Mice

TH Open, 2017
Background Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) affects 1.6 million people in the United States. IBD is associated with an increased risk of thrombosis, which rises with disease activity.

A conformation-sensitive monoclonal antibody against the A2 domain of von Willebrand factor reduces its proteolysis by ADAMTS13. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
The size of von Willebrand factor (VWF), controlled by ADAMTS13-dependent proteolysis, is associated with its hemostatic activity. Many factors regulate ADAMTS13-dependent VWF proteolysis through their interaction with VWF.

Platelets and galectins [PDF]

, 2014
A major function of platelets is keeping the vascular system intact. Platelet activation at sites of vascular injury leads to the formation of a hemostatic plug.
