Blood clotting factor VIII molecule C014 / 0407
Blood clotting factor VIII, molecular model showing the secondary structure. Factor VIII, also known as anti-haemophilic factor, is an essential blood clotting protein in humans. Defects in factor VIII cause haemophilia A, an inherited condition that causes abnormal bleeding. Factor VIII is present in an inactive form in blood fluid (plasma). It is activated by a cascade of complex reactions initiated by chemicals released by cells at injury sites. It helps to form fibrin protein fibres which trap blood cells to form a clot

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate molecular structure of Blood Clotting Factor VIII, also known as anti-haemophilic factor. The secondary structure of this essential blood clotting protein is beautifully illustrated against a pristine white background. Factor VIII plays a crucial role in preventing abnormal bleeding and is found in an inactive form within the plasma of our blood. When injury occurs, cells release specific chemicals that initiate a cascade of complex reactions, activating Factor VIII. This activation process leads to the formation of fibrin protein fibres which ultimately trap blood cells and create a clot. Defects in Factor VIII can result in haemophilia A, an inherited condition characterized by abnormal bleeding tendencies. Understanding the detailed structure and function of this glycoprotein molecule is vital for developing effective treatments for individuals with haemophilia A. Ramon Andrade's artwork not only captures the scientific complexity but also highlights the beauty inherent within biology. This image serves as a reminder that even at its smallest scale, life exhibits remarkable intricacy and elegance.
