Platelets form aggregates with infected red blood cells via CD36 and with leukocytes via the CD40-CD40L pair, promoting vascular sequestration of red blood cells and immunothrombosis in the microcirculation, particularly in the cerebral microcirculation
That convergence of independent findings across diverse research groups adds weight to the overall body of evidence in a way that designed peptides with narrower mechanistic rationales cannot replicate
While our study highlights the significance of hepsin in the context of liver protection and its potential therapeutic implications in APAP-induced hepatotoxicity, there are limitations to consider when evaluating hepsin as a candidate drug or therapeutic strategy
Here's the scoop on this dynamic duo and tips on how to take them together
