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 ...

Nature gave ticks, mosquitoes and leeches a quick-acting way to keep blood from clotting while they extract their meal from a host. Now the key to that method has been harnessed by a team of Duke ...

A rapid approach for engineering blood clots that halt severe bleeding and support tissue healing has been developed by a ...

Researchers at McGill University have developed a rapid way to engineer blood clots that stop severe bleeding and support tissue healing more effectively. Their technique, called “click clotting,” ...

Researchers at McMaster University have made a discovery in the field of hematology, providing an explanation for spontaneous and unusual blood-clotting that continues to occur despite treatment with ...

Von Willebrand factor (VWF) is a protein crucial to the blood clotting process. If you don’t have enough of this protein, or if it doesn’t work as it’s supposed to, you may have von Willebrand disease ...

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 ...

Miraqules co-founder and CEO Sabir Hossain always knew he wanted to follow in his father’s footsteps and run his own business. But he never thought he’d launch a biotech company built around a ...

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 ...
