RECENT PUBLICATIONS ON TISSUE FACTOR, FACTOR VII, AND TFPI
Papers are culled from NLM MedLine (PubMed). Titles in square brackets indicate that the paper was not published in English. References that lack volume or page numbers are typically electronic pre-publications (E-pubs) ahead of the print publication; if so, the final citation with volume and page numbers may or may not appear in a future issue of Trigger.
