New topic
Dr. Bogdanov studies the biology of Tissue Factor ((TF), also known as CD142, tissue thromboplastin, or coagulation factor III), a molecule essential for blood coagulation. Some of his earlier work showed that a previously unknown, naturally occurring molecule - an alternatively spliced soluble circulating TF isoform, termed asTF - is likely to be involved in thrombus formation. Importantly, recombinant asTF exhibits functional activity in the presence of phospholipids, and native asTF co-localizes with platelet aggregates.

In collaboration with Mark B. Taubman (U. Rochester), Dr. Bogdanov recently identified and characterized an analogous alternatively spliced TF molecule that exists in the mouse. Dr. Bogdanov is currently elucidating molecular pathways governing TF pre-mRNA processing. In clinical studies, he is working with collaborators at Mount Sinai's Cardiovascular Institute to qualitatively assess the levels of circulating plasma TF activity in patients undergoing interventional treatment for CVD.
