  • They can also lead to clotting disorders from loss of antithrombin, infections due to loss of important immune globulins, and vitamin D deficiency due to loss of vitamin D binding proteins among other things. (greenmedinfo.com)
  • These observations strongly suggest that APC might be involved not only in regulation of the coagulation system, but in regulation of inflammatory responses by preventing endothelial cell injury. (eurekaselect.com)
  • We have reported that many insults can trigger cells to activate a cellular death pathway (Nature, 361:739-742, 1993), that several viruses encode proteins to block attempted cell suicide (Proc. (hopkinsmedicine.org)
