In this issue of Blood, back-to-back (dos-à-dos) papers by Chiu et al and Yee et al present complementary findings of structural investigations into the interaction between factor VIII (FVIII) and von Willebrand factor (VWF).

On the other hand, a user will certainly consider selective bandwidth reduction that is used by ISPs as a countermeasure, as a DoS measure. Given the nature of their business...
