Abstract

Selective analyses of the coagulation factors II, V, VIII, and X in cerebrospinal fluid resulted in activity values ranging from 0.01-0.05 as a portion of the relative ratio 1 pertaining to the plasma activity. The increase of activity did not correlate with the protein increase in cerebrospinal fluid at F-VIII, and only to a slight extent at F-II, F-V,, and F-X. As compared with plasma a stimulating effect on coagulation can be recorded thromboelastographically in plasma mixtures.

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.

CSF & Lymphatic System

This feed focuses on Cerebral Spinal Fluid (CSF) and the lymphatic system. Discover the latest papers using imaging techniques to track CSF outflow into the lymphatic system in animal models.

Blood Brain Barrier Chips

The blood brain barrier (BBB) is comprised of endothelial cells that regulate the influx and outflux of plasma concentrations. Lab-on-a-chip devices allow scientists to model diseases and mechanisms such as the passage of therapeutic antibodies across the BBB. Discover the latest research on BBB chips here.
