Thrombosis is a harmful activation of the clotting process, which is associated with the occurrence of blood vessel-related diseases. Pathological enhancement of the clotting cascade causes thrombosis ...

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 ...

Under homeostatic conditions, the body is maintained in a finely tuned balance of coagulation and fibrinolysis. See Figure 1 for a depiction of normal hemostasis. The activation of the coagulation ...

CRP, C-reactive protein; F, factor; IL-6, interleukin 6; NO, nitric oxide; PAI-1, plasminogen activator inhibitor-1; ROS, reactive oxygen species; TNF-α, tumor ...

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 ...

Blood clotting, also known as coagulation, is a critical biological mechanism to prevent excessive blood loss in the event of an injury to a blood vessel. During this complex process, a cascade of ...

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 ...

When the body experiences an injury to a blood vessel, muscular response to the injury causes the vessel to constrict, decreasing blood flow to the area. The blood is exposed to collagen in the ...

image: (top) Citrated whole blood is put between electrodes. When the blood starts coagulation, the permittivity measured by alternating current (AC) increases in relation to the aggregation and ...
