“…This pathway had been proposed in the early 1900s by Morawitz, who described thrombokinase as a coagulant activity from platelets or damaged tissue (39). Howell (40) called the clot-accelerating activity from tissue, thromboplastin, a complex that converted prothrombin to thrombin.…”

“…1). This inhibition is due to the formation of 1:1 enzyme⅐AT complexes whose production is greatly accelerated by the mast cell product, heparin (2).…”
“…Later, Rudolph Virchow in 1860 described clots and their tendency to embolize [ 8 ]. Based on these developments, Paul Morawitz in 1905 proposed the classic theory of coagulation in which prothrombin by calcium activation caused the generation of thrombin which transformed fi brinogen to fi brin [ 9 ]. 1.…”
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
