Blood coagulation dynamics: mathematicalmodeling and stability results by Adélia Sequeira, Rafael F. Santos, Tomáš Bodnár

“…Coagulation is initiated in response to endothelial surface vascular injury or certain biochemical stimuli, by the exposure of plasma to Tissue Factor (TF), that activates platelets and the coagulation cascade, inducing clot formation, growth and lysis.In recent years considerable advances have contributed to understand this highly complex process and some mathematical and numerical models have been developed. …”

Chemigenetic Ca2+ indicators report elevated Ca2+ levels in endothelial Weibel-Palade bodies. by Julian Terglane, Nicole Mertes, Sarah Weischer, Thomas Zobel, Kai Johnsson, Volker Gerke

“…Stimulation of endothelial cells results in exocytosis of WPB and release of their cargo into the vascular lumen, where VWF unfurls into long strings of up to 1000 µm and recruits platelets to sites of vascular injury, thereby mediating a crucial step in the hemostatic response. …”

Microbes, macrophages, and melanin: a unifying theory of disease as exemplified by cancer by Stacie Z. Berg, Jonathan Berg

“…In this article, we provide evidence that tumors are actually complex microbial communities composed of various microorganisms living within biofilms encapsulated by a hard matrix; that these microorganisms are what cause the genetic mutations seen in cancer and control angiogenesis; that these pathogens spread by hiding in tumor cells and M2 or M2-like macrophages and other phagocytic immune cells and traveling inside them to distant sites camouflaged by platelets, which they also reprogram, and prepare the distant site for metastasis; that risk factors for cancer are sources of energy that pathogens are able to utilize; and that, in accordance with our previous unifying theory of disease, pathogens utilize melanin for energy for building and sustaining tumors and metastasis. …”

Role of Extracellular Hemoglobin in Thrombosis and Vascular Occlusion in Patients with Sickle Cell Anemia by Zhou Zhou, Molly Behymer, Prasenjit Guchhait

“…The Hb-bound VWF multimers are resistant to ADAMTS13, and are hyperactive in aggregating platelets. Thus, the data suggest that Hb-bound VWF multimers are ultralarge and hyperactive because they are resistant to the protease. …”
