1 Oct 2018
Abstract excerpt
The mechanisms involved in regulating von Willebrand factor (VWF) clearance remain poorly understood. However recent studies have shown that macrophages play a critical role in regulating the half-life of VWF, and have identified specific lectin (including asialoglycoprotein, macrophage galactose-type lectin, Sigec-5 and C-type lectin domain family 4 member M) and scavenger receptors (including low-density...
