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.

A biocompatible and biodegradable peptide-based hybrid material can help stop bleeding, a study reveals 1. The material mimics the blood-clotting properties of fibrin and the adhesiveness of specific ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

IN the course of a study of the non-protein activator(s) 1 of blood coagulation, which always occur(s) in the cephalin fraction of the phospholipids, without being identical with the classical ...

New research by Georgia Tech and Emory University sheds new light on the mechanics and physics of blood clotting and could lead to better ways to treat clotting and bleeding issues.

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 ...

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 ...

Scientists have identified the specific structural element of von Willebrand Factor that allows it to bind with platelets and initiate blood clotting. The team says that the specific unit, which they ...

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 ...
