As people age they become more prone to blood clotting diseases, which can be caused when blood platelets clump together. This clumping can lead to strokes and cardiovascular disease. For decades, ...

Researchers at Kumamoto University have developed a highly sensitive blood test that can detect subtle differences in how easily blood begins to clot, offering new possibilities for tailoring ...

Using a high-sensitivity blood test (SMAT) that measures initial thrombin generation (ITG)—the very first step of blood clot formation—the researchers analyzed blood samples from 771 patients with ...

A rare but serious clotting disorder linked to certain COVID-19 vaccines and natural adenovirus infections has puzzled scientists for years.

Researchers have identified the molecular mechanism behind vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia, or VITT, a rare clotting disorder that emerged in a small number of people who received ...

Blood clots can be dangerous and lead to complications like heart attacks, strokes, and blood clots in the lungs. A study published in Life Metabolism examined the effects of intermittent fasting on ...

Scientists say they have uncovered why a small number of people developed a rare blood clotting condition after receiving ...

New research from the Charles Perkins Centre at the University of Sydney has uncovered a new biological pathway that may help explain why people with type 2 diabetes are more prone to developing ...
