Lindsey George, Assistant Professor of Pediatrics at University of Pennsylvania, Director of Clinical In Vivo Gene Therapy at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, shared on LinkedIn about a recent article she and her colleagues co-authored, published in Blood, adding:
”Congratulations Johnathan Morris!
This manuscript describes the underlying mechanism of FVIII Aurora (FVIII-R571S), which has 10–20-fold higher affinity for FIXa over FVIII-WT and FIXa-dependent reduced inactivation by A2-domain dissociation and APC cleavage.”
