Journal ArticleDOI

Multifunctional Specificity of the Protein C/Activated Protein C Gla Domain

TL;DR: Results reveal the specific Gla domain residues responsible for mediating protein C/APC molecular recognition with both its cofactor and receptor and further illustrate the multifunctional potential of Gla domains.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rapid activation of endothelial cells enables Plasmodium falciparum adhesion to platelet-decorated von Willebrand factor strings

TL;DR: This study demonstrates tethering and firm adhesion of IEs to the endothelium specifically at sites of platelet accumulation and proposes that this new mechanism contributes to sequestration both independently of and in concert with current adhesion mechanisms.
Journal ArticleDOI

Severe Plasmodium falciparum Malaria Is Associated with Circulating Ultra-Large von Willebrand Multimers and ADAMTS13 Inhibition

TL;DR: The novel findings suggest that severe P. falciparum infection is associated with acute endothelial cell activation, abnormal circulating ULVWF multimers, and a significant reduction in plasma ADAMTS13 function which is mediated at least in part by an unidentified inhibitor.
Journal ArticleDOI

Protamine sulfate down-regulates thrombin generation by inhibiting factor V activation.

TL;DR: Low-dose protamine effectively reversed the anticoagulant activity of unfractionated heparin in plasma, and elevated protamine concentrations were associated with progressive dose-dependent reduction in thrombin generation.
