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, ...

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, ...

Under normal, healthy circulatory conditions, the von Willebrand Factor (vWF) keeps to itself. The large and mysterious glycoprotein moves through the blood, balled up tightly, its reaction sites ...

The discovery solves a decades long puzzle about what sets off blood clotting. (Nanowerk News) If you’ve ever accidentally sliced yourself on a broken glass or a piece of paper, you may have noticed ...

Blood clotting is a complex cascade of events that works well for normal cuts and scrapes, however, more serious injuries can overwhelm the body’s natural blood-clotting process. With traumatic injury ...

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 ...

If you've ever accidentally sliced yourself on a broken glass or a piece of paper, you may have noticed that the bleeding can be hard to stop. Scientists have long wondered how the cascade of events ...

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 ...
