Brief description Blood clotting is the underlying cause of heart attacks and strokes. The blood protein, von Willebrand factor, is a critical player in blood clotting and impairment of its function is life threatening. We have discovered that there are three forms of VWF in human blood that have different functions in blood clotting. Characterisation of these different forms will likely lead to new blood clotting diagnostics and improved therapies.
