New insight into thrombotic mechanisms of SARS-CoV2 infection?

Using drosophila genetic screening, Quan Zhang and team identified orf7a as a trigger for endothelial activation and release of von Willebrand factor, and may result in thrombosis.

New study from Steven Humphreys reveals that arterial and venous endothelial cells elongate and remodel differentially in response to flow rate.

Arterial endothelial cells are more responsive to inflammation and significantly delay clot breakdown.
