Hemostasis and inflammation: two of a kind?
Hemostasis is a defense mechanism to stop bleeding. Activated by vessel wall injury, it consists of intertwined activation of platelets and the coagulation cascade, tightly controlled by natural anticoagulants and the fibrinolytic system.
متن کاملPlatelet-neutrophil-interactions: linking hemostasis and inflammation.
Platelets are essential for primary hemostasis, but they also play an important pro-inflammatory role. Platelets normally circulate in a quiescent state. Upon activation, platelets can secrete and present various molecules, change their shape as well as the expression pattern of adhesion molecules. These changes are associated with the adhesion of platelets to leukocytes and the vessel wall. Th...
متن کاملVon Willebrand factor, hemostasis and inflammation.
For many decades, hemostatic and immune defense mechanisms were thought to act independently. More recently, this concept has been revised largely. Thus, it is becoming apparent that platelets, like leukocytes, have multiple functions in innate and adaptive immunity, changing their role from “innocent bystanders” to integral players in inflammatory or infectious processes and immunity (1, 2). F...
متن کاملEffects of Ambient Air Pollution on Hemostasis and Inflammation
BACKGROUND Air pollution has consistently been associated with increased morbidity and mortality due to respiratory and cardiovascular disease. Underlying biological mechanisms are not entirely clear, and hemostasis and inflammation are suggested to be involved. OBJECTIVES Our aim was to study the association of the variation in local concentrations of airborne particulate matter (PM) with ae...
