Cyclic peptide FXII inhibitor provides safe anticoagulation in a thrombosis model and in artificial lungs

Christian Heinis, Xudong Kong, Jonas Alfred Karl Wilbs, Patrick Andreas Gonschorek, Simon Jan Middendorp, Christina Lamers

Inhibiting thrombosis without generating bleeding risks is a major challenge in medicine. A promising solution may be the inhibition of coagulation factor XII (FXII), because its knock-out or inhibition in animals reduced thrombosis without causing abnorma ...

Improved susceptibility-weighted imaging for high contrast and resolution thalamic nuclei mapping at 7T

Meritxell Bach Cuadra, Constantin Tuleasca, José Pedro Rebelo Ferreira Marques, Daniel Gallichan, João Pedro Forjaco Jorge, Frédéric Gretsch

Purpose The thalamus is an important brain structure and neurosurgical target, but its constituting nuclei are challenging to image non-invasively. Recently, susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI) at ultra-high field has shown promising capabilities for tha ...

From Patients to Platelets and Back Again: Pharmacological Approaches to Glycoprotein VI, a Thrilling Antithrombotic Target with Minor Bleeding Risks

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Augusto Martins Lima

Despite significant advances in the treatment of thrombogenic diseases, antiplatelet therapies are still associated with a high bleeding risk. Consequently, potential benefits of preventing thromboembolic events by pharmacological agents need to be balance ...

Development of cyclic peptide inhibitors of coagulation factor XIa for safer anticoagulation

Vanessa Carle

Hemostasis is a complex physiological process responsible for the prevention of blood loss caused by vascular injury. The dysregulation of this delicate mechanism can lead to thromboembolic diseases, the leading cause of death worldwide. Anticoagulants are ...

Risk prediction of developing venous thrombosis in combined oral contraceptive users

Emmanuelle Logette, Valérie Buchillier

Background Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a complex multifactorial disease influenced by genetic and environmental risk factors. An example for the latter is the regular use of combined oral contraceptives (CC), which increases the risk to develop VTE by ...

Hemodynamic transition driven by stent porosity in sidewall aneurysms

Mohamed Farhat, Pierre Bouillot

The healing process of intracranial aneurysms (IAs) treated with flow diverter stents (FDSs) depends on the IA flow modifications and on the epithelization process over the neck. In sidewall IA models with straight parent artery, two main hemodynamic regim ...

Living-Engineered Valves for Transcatheter Venous Valve Repair

Peter Modregger

Background: Chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) represents a major global health problem with increasing prevalence and morbidity. CVI is due to an incompetence of the venous valves, which causes venous reflux and distal venous hypertension. Several studies ...

The Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme 2/Angiotensin-(1-7)/Mas receptor axis: A potential target for treating thrombotic diseases

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos

Despite many therapeutic advances leading to increasingly effective drug treatments, thrombotic events (such as ischaemic stroke, pulmonary embolism, deep venous thrombosis and acute myocardial infarction) still represent a major worldwide cause of morbidi ...

Portable Technologies for Self-Monitoring of Coagulation Time: A Review

Philippe Renaud, Lynda Metref

Anti-coagulation treatments are required for medical conditions that become more and more frequent with the ageing of the population in developed countries (atrial fibrillation, deep-venous thrombosis, heart prosthetic valves, etc.). These treatments gener ...

Local hemodynamics and intimal hyperplasia at the venous side of a porcine arteriovenous shunt

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos

Venous anastomotic intimal hyperplasia (IH) observed in the arteriovenous shunt (AVS) has been associated with disturbed hemodynamics. This study aims to correlate hemodynamics with wall histology and wall mechanics by examining the flow field in AVS with ...

Melanocyte-like cells in the heart and pulmonary veins contribute to atrial arrhythmia triggers

Friedrich Beermann, Fang Liu

Atrial fibrillation is the most common clinical cardiac arrhythmia. It is often initiated by ectopic beats arising from the pulmonary veins and atrium, but the source and mechanism of these beats remains unclear. The melanin synthesis enzyme dopachrome tau ...

A structural model of the venous wall considering elastin anisotropy

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos

The three-dimensional biomechanical behavior of the vascular wall is best described by means of strain energy functions. Significant effort has been devoted lately in the development of structure-based models of the vascular wall, which account for the ind ...
