Modulation of endothelial organelle size as an antithrombotic strategy
2020-05-17
Abstract excerpt
It is long-established that Von Willebrand Factor (VWF) is central to haemostasis and thrombosis. Endothelial VWF is stored in cell-specific secretory granules, Weibel-Palade bodies (WPBs), uniquely rod-like exocytic organelles generated in a wide range of lengths (0.5 to 5.0 µm). It has been shown that WPB size responds to physiological cues and pharmacological treatment and that, under flow, VWF secretion from s...
