Thrombin generation and fibrinogen (Fbg) clotting are the ultimate proteolytic reactions in the blood coagulation pathway. Staphylocoagulase (SC), a protein secreted by the human pathogen Staphylococcus aureus, activates prothrombin (ProT) without proteolysis. The SC.(pro)thrombin complex recognizes Fbg as a specific substrate, converting it directly into fibrin. The crystal structure of a full...

Evidence has demonstrated that hypertensive disorders in pregnancy are associated with alterations in the expression of different microRNAs (miRNAs). miRNAs are endogenously expressed non-coding RNAs that have significant biological and pathological functions due to their potential mechanism...
