Original Source: Elevated D-dimers are also a marker of underlying malignancy and increased mortality in the absence of venous thromboembolism.
Background D-dimers are used in conjunction with clinical probability scores in the assessment of venous thromboembolism (VTE), and they are elevated in other conditions, including malignancy, infection and arrhythmias. High levels of D-dimers in VTE are associated with adverse outcomes, including increased mortality. Their significance in patients without VTE has not previously been established. Aims To establish the clinical significance of elevated D-dimer levels in patients without VTE. Methods This pro...

DAXX envelops an H3.3–H4 dimer for H3.3-specific recognition
The crystal structures of the histone chaperone DAXX histone-binding domain bound to a histone H3.3–H4 dimer are described; DAXX wraps around the H3.3–H4 dimer and alters its conformation.
Dimer asymmetry defines α-catenin interactions
The protein α-catenin has an essential role in stabilizing cell-cell junctions, and it is involved in multiple interactions with other cytoskeleton proteins. The crystal structure of nearly full-leng...
Increasing the efficiency of D-dimer tests
