Researchers at Georgia Tech have engineered “designer” blood clots—artificial platelets that could enhance the body’s natural clotting process and mitigate painful scarring. In animal trials, the ...

Blood platelets are tiny cell fragments that play a criticalrole in blood clotting. They are produced in the bone marrow bylarge cells called megakarocytes. These cells break apart to formplatelets, ...

TYLER, Texas (KLTV) - A recent Tyler ISD graduate has created a 3-D animation to help students better understand a complicated biological process. To make a particular biology topic easier to digest, ...

Researchers from the University of Birmingham, UK, who identified a novel mechanism for platelet activation in pathogenic blood clotting (thrombosis) are now turning their attention to sepsis.

New research may help to explain why anticoagulant therapies have largely failed to extend the lives of patients with sepsis. The study shows that fibrin, a key product of the blood clotting process, ...

IIT Madras researchers patent a technique to measure blood clotting time, enhancing implant safety and water purity testing.

Heart attacks and strokes -- the leading causes of death in human beings -- are fundamentally blood clots of the heart and brain. Better understanding how the blood-clotting process works and how to ...

Platelets are small anucleated blood cells responsible for stopping bleeding. They detect blood vessel damage and agglutinate, creating aggregates and stopping blood loss. This process is called ...

Blood loss from traumatic injuries is a major killer, but it’s relatively easy to treat in a hospital environment. The problem is that it can occur suddenly, and first responders don’t have the same ...

Rare clotting factor deficiencies are a collection of bleeding disorders associated with issues with clotting factors. These conditions are inherited and target the proteins in the blood that control ...

Beyond blood clotting, the work could have implications for other cellular systems that respond to mechanical force. In the beginning of the clotting process, human platelets use a highly specialized ...
