VAMP8 Deficiency Attenuates AngII-Induced Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Formation via Platelet Reprogramming and Enhanced Extracellular Matrix Stability

This study shows that VAMP8 deficiency reduces AngII-induced abdominal aortic aneurysm formation by altering platelet function and enhancing extracellular matrix stability.

Platelet endocytosis and α-granule cargo packaging are essential for normal skin wound healing

This study shows that platelet granule cargo packaging and endocytosis are essential for proper skin wound healing in mice, affecting multiple phases of the healing process.

Unfolded Von Willebrand Factor Binds Protein S and Reduces Anticoagulant Activity

This paper identifies a shear-dependent interaction between Protein S and von Willebrand Factor that reduces free PS anticoagulant activity and contributes to thrombotic risk in viral infections.
