Fibrin film on clots is increased by haematocrit but reduced by inflammation: implications for platelets and fibrinolysis.

J Thromb Haemost

Background: Blood clot formation, triggered by vascular injury, is crucial for haemostasis and thrombosis. Blood clots are composed mainly of fibrin fibres, platelets and red blood cells (RBCs). Recent studies show that clot surface also develops a fibrin film, which provides protection against wound infection and retains components such as RBCs within the clot.

Alzheimers Dement

December 2024

Gladstone Institutes, UCSF, San Francisco, CA, USA.

Background: Cerebrovascular alterations and innate immune activation are key features of Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, the mechanisms that link blood-brain barrier disruption to neurodegeneration are poorly understood and well-defined druggable targets at the neurovascular interface are limited.

Method: By developing a multiomic and genetic loss-of-function pipeline, we reported the transcriptomic and global phosphoproteomic landscape of blood-induced microglia activation and the causal role for fibrin in induction of neurodegenerative genes and oxidative stress pathways in innate immune cells.

Tissue factor (TF) is a cell surface protein that plays a role in blood clotting but is also commonly expressed in many cancers. Recent research implicated TF in cancer proliferation, metastasis, angiogenesis, and immune escape. Therefore, TF can be considered a viable therapeutic target against cancer.

Background: Hypothetically, PPE played an estimated influential role in preventing SARS-CoV-2 transmission among HCWs before immune-prophylaxis by vaccination in BH. Objective: This research aims to determine the relationship between PPE use and the serological response to SARS-COV-2 among HCWs.

Methods: The sample contained 127 COVID-19 outpatients with an average age of 43.

Venous thromboembolism, characterized by deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism, is the third cardiovascular disease in the world. Deep vein thrombosis occurs when a blood clot forms in areas of impaired blood flow, and it is significantly affected by environmental factors. Local hypoxia, caused by venous stasis, plays a critical role in deep vein thrombosis under normal conditions, and this effect is intensified when the Po decreases, such as during air travel or high-altitude exposure.
