Jennifer Le Mac: How the Immune System Shapes Venous Thrombosis

Jennifer Le Mac, PhD Student at GETBO – Western Brittany Thrombosis Study Group, shared a post on LinkedIn about a recent article she and her colleagues co-authored, published in Journal of Thrombosis and Haemostasis, adding:

“Exciting News!

I am excited to share my new scientific paper entitled: ‘Role of inflammation in venous thrombosis formation and resolution.’

Published in Journal of Thrombosis and Haemostasis!

Why is this important?

Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a major public health issue.

Pulmonary embolism, a serious complication of DVT, is the 3rd leading cause of cardiovascular mortality.

Despite therapeutic progress, venous thromboembolic disease is still associated with a poor prognosis and an increased risk of bleeding on anticoagulants

What is it about?

This review highlights the key role of the immune system in thrombus formation and resolution, suggesting that its modulation could offer a complementary therapeutic avenue

Many thanks to Mouhamed Bachir and Catherine Lemarie for this great review!”
