The platelet content of a clot may be at least as strong a predictor of outcome and mortality following mechanical thrombectomy as fibrin content, new data suggest. Researchers analyzed clot ...

When skin is cut or damaged, tiny cell fragments circulating in the blood, called platelets, arrive at the injury and spread out to stop the blood from leaking out. Once enough layers of platelets ...

Researchers have identified serine threonine kinase 10 as a key regulator of platelet function, haemostasis and ...

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, ...

In a recent study under review in the Journal of Hematology & Oncology journal and currently available on the Research Square* preprint server, researchers investigated the presence of severe acute ...

Blood clotting, also called coagulation, is a vital process the body uses after an injury to stop bleeding and help prevent infections. But sometimes, blood clots form inside an artery or vein, where ...

Here’s what blood clots are, how they’re typically treated and what they actually feel and look like so you can know when it's time to worry.

Understanding the physics of clot contraction could potentially lead to new ways to treat bleeding problems and clotting problems. Heart attacks and strokes -- the leading causes of death in human ...

AI technology could be used to detect potentially deadly blood clots before they strike. That's according to scientists at the University of Tokyo, who say they have created a non-invasive way to ...

Inflammatory bowel disease, in which the immune system attacks the gut, is a painful chronic condition that affects three million Americans. Rates of IBD are rising, and there's currently no cure. IBD ...
