In my dissertation, I explored the intricate interplay amongst the different components of the blood microenvironment (e.g. endothelial cells, platelets, and coagulation factors) in studies ranging from in vitro experiments, to in vivo studies with nonhuman primates (NHPs), and clinical studies. My objective was to leverage knowledge of complex blood microenvironment interactions to develop tools targeting the intracellular and extracellular pathways that contribute to the manifestation of vascular diseases and responses to vascular devices. 000041891 540__ $$fCC BY-ND 000041891 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000041891 650__ $$aBlood Coagulation Factors$$015654 000041891 650__ $$aEndothelial Cells$$035222 000041891 650__ $$aBlood Platelets$$015667 000041891 650__ $$aThromboinflammation$$013757 000041891 650__ $$aAtherosclerosis$$036329 000041891 650__ $$aMultiple Sclerosis$$022506 000041891 6531_ $$ablood microenvironment 000041891 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000041891 692__ $$aDepartment of Biomedical Engineering$$041397 000041891 7001_ $$aKohs, Tia C.L.$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000041891 7201_ $$aMcCarty, Owen$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354$$eAdvisor$$7Personal 000041891 8564_ $$9c86d62b7-8c5c-4179-a722-47921b50d4f5$$s6174818$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/41891/files/Kohs.Tia.2023.pdf 000041891 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:41891$$pstudent-work 000041891 980__ $$aTheses and Dissertations 000041891 981__ $$aPublished$$b2023-09-13
