The fundamental contributions that blood vessels make toward organogenesis and tissue
homeostasis are reflected by the considerable ramifications that loss of vascular wall …

Background Smoking cessation is an effective secondary prevention measure after acute
coronary syndrome (ACS). We conducted a systematic review with the aim to better …

Background Readmissions after PCI are a burden to patients and health services that are
not well understood. Methods A systematic review was performed to identify studies of …

Background—Hematopoiesis originates from the dorsal aorta during embryogenesis.

Objective—Tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI) is the primary regulator of the tissue factor
(TF) coagulation pathway. As such, TFPI may regulate the proangiogenic effects of TF. TFPI …

Coagulation, innate immunity, angiogenesis, and lipid metabolism represent fundamental
and interdependent biological systems. While tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI) is the …
