If you missed our paper on the humanized murine model of VWD-type 1 (hVWD1) you can read it haematologica.org/article/view...
The model provides a novel platform to test therapeutic options for #VWD one of which is explored in the paper! Thanks Haematologica for the highlight as Editor’s pick!

Factor XII (FXII) exists in multiple conformations, with a "closed" form dominating in solution. Surface binding triggers a shift to an "open" form, more primed for activation. AlphaFold-guided studies and single-molecule dynamics shed light on this process!

Replacement of a single residue changes the primary specificity of thrombin - PubMed
D189 in the S1 pocket confers thrombin "trypsin-like" specificity for Arg at P1. However, the S1 pocket is wide enough to also enable "chymotrypsin-like" specificity for Phe at P1. Consistent with the...

Gave a talk on social media this morning at #ASH24

Someone asked about the longevity of BlueSky and I answered optimistically.

So don’t make me look dumb y’all.
