Platelet-Inspired Intravenous Nanomedicine for Injury-Targeted Direct Delivery of Thrombin to Augment Hemostasis in Coagulopathies.

TL;DR: The designs and evaluation of thrombin-loaded injury-site-targeted lipid nanoparticles (t-TLNPs) that can specifically localize at an injury site via platelet-mimetic anchorage to the von Willebrand factor (vWF) and collagen and directly releaseThrombin via diffusion and phospholipase-triggered particle destabilization can restore fibrin in hemostatic dysfunction settings.

Peroxynitrite oxidation of sulfhydryls. The cytotoxic potential of superoxide and nitric oxide.

TL;DR: Peroxynitrite anion was a less effective thiol-oxidizing agent than its anion, with oxidation presumably mediated by the decomposition products, hydroxyl radical and nitrogen dioxide.

Homocysteine and Cardiovascular Disease

TL;DR: In this article, an elevated level of total homocysteine (tHcy) in blood, denoted hyperhomocysteinemia, is emerging as a prevalent and strong risk factor for atherosclerotic vascular disease in the coronary, cerebral, and peripheral vessels, and for arterial and venous thromboembolism.

Albumin as a drug carrier: design of prodrugs, drug conjugates and nanoparticles.

TL;DR: This review gives an account of the different drug delivery systems which make use of albumin as a drug carrier with a focus on those systems that have reached an advanced stage of preclinical evaluation or that have entered clinical trials.
