Nonlocal effects in negative triangularity TCV plasmas

Olivier Sauter, Stefano Coda, Laurent Villard, Stephan Brunner, Zhouji Huang, Gabriele Merlo, Claudio Marini

Global gradient driven gyrokinetic simulations performed with the Gyrokinetic Electromagnetic Numerical Experiment (GENE) code are used to investigate Tokamak a configuration variable (TCV) plasmas with negative triangularity. Considering limited L-mode pl ...

Tissue Factor-Independent Coagulation Correlates with Clinical Phenotype in Factor XI Deficiency and Replacement Therapy

Christian Heinis, Vanessa Carle, Alessandro Aliotta

Background In factor XI (FXI) deficiency, bleeding cannot be predicted by routine analyses. Since FXI is involved in tissue factor (TF)-independent propagation loop of coagulation, we hypothesized that investigating the spatiotemporal separated phases of c ...

Cyclic peptide FXII inhibitor provides safe anticoagulation in a thrombosis model and in artificial lungs

Christian Heinis, Xudong Kong, Jonas Alfred Karl Wilbs, Patrick Andreas Gonschorek, Simon Jan Middendorp, Christina Lamers

Inhibiting thrombosis without generating bleeding risks is a major challenge in medicine. A promising solution may be the inhibition of coagulation factor XII (FXII), because its knock-out or inhibition in animals reduced thrombosis without causing abnorma ...

De novo development of proteolytically resistant therapeutic peptides for oral administration

Christian Heinis, Luciano Andres Abriata, Florence Pojer, Xudong Kong, Vanessa Carle, Jun Moriya

The oral administration of peptide drugs is hampered by their metabolic instability and limited intestinal uptake. Here, we describe a method for the generation of small target-specific peptides (less than 1,600 Da in size) that resist gastrointestinal pro ...

FasR Regulates Fatty Acid Biosynthesis and Is Essential for Virulence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Stewart Cole, Claudia Sala

Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the etiologic agent of human tuberculosis, is the world's leading cause of death from an infectious disease. One of the main features of this pathogen is the complex and dynamic lipid composition of the cell envelope, which adap ...

Re-evaluating natural resource investments under uncertainty: An alternative to limited traditional approaches

Sebastian Maier

The need to evaluate natural resource investments under uncertainty has given rise to the development of real options valuation; however, the analysis of such investments has been restricted by the capabilities of existing valuation approaches. We re-visit ...

Development of cyclic peptide inhibitors of coagulation factor XIa for safer anticoagulation

Vanessa Carle

Hemostasis is a complex physiological process responsible for the prevention of blood loss caused by vascular injury. The dysregulation of this delicate mechanism can lead to thromboembolic diseases, the leading cause of death worldwide. Anticoagulants are ...

Development of cyclic peptide inhibitors of coagulation factor XII and matrix metalloproteinase 2

Jonas Alfred Karl Wilbs

Peptides represent a promising molecular class for drug development. They combine several strengths of small molecules (e.g. efficient tissue diffusion, low immunogenicity and access to chemical synthesis) and key properties of biologics such as monoclonal ...

Peptide macrocycle inhibitor of coagulation factor XII with subnanomolar affinity and high target selectivity

Christian Heinis, Jonas Alfred Karl Wilbs, Simon Jan Middendorp

Factor XII (FXII) is a plasma protease that has emerged in recent years as a potential target to treat or prevent pathological thrombosis, to inhibit contact activation in extracorporeal circulation, and to treat the swelling disorder hereditary angioedema ...

Risk prediction of developing venous thrombosis in combined oral contraceptive users

Emmanuelle Logette, Valérie Buchillier

Background Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a complex multifactorial disease influenced by genetic and environmental risk factors. An example for the latter is the regular use of combined oral contraceptives (CC), which increases the risk to develop VTE by ...
