It is apparent that TF and TFPI are important in health and disease. An enhanced understanding of the physiologic and pathophysiologic roles of these factors provides better insight into coagulation, inflammation, angiogenesis, disseminated intravascular coagulation, and tumor metastasis. This greater understanding may provide for the development of therapeutics for sepsis, disseminated intravascular coagulation, and neoplasia.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
