The pathogenesis of hypercoagulability in cancer is not entirely understood. We hypothesized that in cancer patients circulating tissue factor-positive microparticles (TF + MPs) are increased and associated with hemostatic system activation...

03/2007 | Thrombosis and Haemostasis, SchattauerLipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated monocytes are known to have a procoagulant effect. This property is currently explained by the fact that monocytes, in response to LPS, can express tissue factor (TF) and undergo a process of membrane microvesiculation...
