Introduction Antiphospholipid antibodies (aPLs) can promote thrombosis in vivo , but evidence from both animal models and clinical data suggests that they act as a ‘first hit’ and may require a ‘second hit’, typically an inflammatory stimulus, to induce thrombus formation. This study aimed to investigate…
The presence and localization of plant metabolites are indicative of physiological processes, e.g., under biotic and abiotic stress conditions. Further, the chemical composition of plant parts is related to their quality as food or for medicinal applications. Mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) has become…
Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is an autoimmune disease driven by a wide group of autoantibodies primarily directed against phospholipid-binding proteins (antiphospholipid antibodies). APS is defined by two main kinds of clinical manifestations: vascular thrombosis and pregnancy-related morbidity. In…
