Popis: Bleeding and thrombotic disorders result from imbalances in coagulation or fibrinolysis, respectively. Inhibitors from the serine protease inhibitor (serpin) family have a key role in regulating these physiological events, and thus stand out as potential therapeutic targets for modulating fibrin clot formation or dismantling. Here, we review the diversity of serpin-targeting strategies in the area of hemostasis, and detail the suggested use of modified serpins and serpin inhibitors (ranging from small-molecule drugs to antibodies) to treat or prevent bleeding or thrombosis.
