My favourite talks today have explored vascular and endothelial biology. Started with an excellent discussion about vascular malformations by Dr Vikkula, and ending it in the SSC on vWF with another fascinating talk by Dr Randi. I sense a new obsession coming on!! #ISTH2023
Great talks this afternoon in the Spectrum of Pediatric Bleeding and Clotting session - especially from Dr Laura Avila who presented almost entirely from memory following technical issues!! #ISTH2023
