title: Aβ and C(lot), but not D(egradation).
abstract: In this issue of Blood, Zamolodchikov and Strickland examine the association of β-amyloid (Aβ) peptide with fibrin(ogen). These findings shed new light on the relationship between Alzheimer disease and cardiovascular disease, as well as on a novel biochemical mechanism regulating clot stability and dissolution.
