”Alternate functions of physiological anticoagulants

Classical anticoagulants—antithrombin, protein C, protein S, and tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI)—are known for maintaining hemostatic balance.

Yet emerging research reveals far broader physiological roles beyond coagulation control.

Insight: These anticoagulants act as multifunctional modulators of inflammation, immunity, angiogenesis, and barrier integrity, highlighting therapeutic opportunities that extend well beyond thrombosis—toward truly pleiotropic vascular medicine.”
