Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Endothelial von Willebrand factor (VWF) inhibits angiogenesis. Accordingly, blood outgrowth endothelial cells (BOECs) isolated from von Willebrand disease (VWD) patients showed enhanced in vitro angiogenesis when compared with healthy control BOECs. Characterization of the angiogenic response of VWD BOECs is limited and differences between the different types of VWD have not been investigated in...
