The Hemostasis and Thrombosis [HT] Study Section reviews applications involving basic and applied aspects of the blood and vascular elements associated with hemostasis, thrombosis, and interactions with vasculature. Studies using cellular, biochemical, biophysical, immunological, genetic, pharmacological and molecular biological approaches to define normal and pathological processes are reviewed. Specific areas covered by HT study section:

• Mechanisms of hemostasis: blood coagulation, structure/function of coagulation proteins, congenital and acquired bleeding disorders; gene therapy for treatment of hemostatic disorders.
• Mechanisms of thrombolysis/fibrinolysis: fibrin structure; regulatory mediators including activators and inhibitors.
• Platelet biology: adhesion, aggregation, secretion; signal transduction mechanisms; platelet turnover; megakaryocyte biology; integrin receptor biology; platelet interactions with endothelial cells and leukocytes, congenital platelet disorders.
• Thrombosis: venous and arterial; rheology; inflammatory cytokines; mechanisms of atherothrombosis; tissue factor expression; congenital risk factors, diagnosis and pharmacologic intervention.
• Vascular biology: vessel wall interactions with the formed blood elements, including pro- and anti-coagulant functions, expression of tissue factor, matrix proteases, and soluble angiogenic factors from blood.
