The glycoprotein V of the blood platelets is an important switch point for haemostasis and thrombus formation. This new finding could have great clinical potential. When our blood vessels are injured ...

Fibrin plays a major role in stopping bleeding and healing wounds. However, if fibrin is formed in excess, e.g., in chronic wounds, thrombosis and subsequent vascular occlusions can occur. Therefore, ...

Hemostasis is a complex system composed of many procoagulant and regulatory pathways. Multiple pathways, such as the intrinsic pathway, platelet activation and the tissue factor pathway, can affect ...

University of California, Los Angeles and University of California, San Diego researchers developed an injectable sealant for rapid hemostasis and tissue adhesion in soft, elastic organs. Formulated ...

Scientists at the RCSI University of Medicine and Health Sciences in Dublin, Ireland, have discovered a new role for the blood clotting protein, von Willebrand Factor (VWF), that could lead to the ...

A potentially game-changing treatment for people with, or at risk of, blood clots has been found effective by an international team of researchers led by McMaster University's Jeffrey Weitz. Weitz's ...

In light of these concepts, current massive transfusion protocols incorporate hemostasis-directed resuscitation, or the pre-emptive administration of blood coagulation products along with packed red ...

Tulane University biomedical engineers are testing a new device designed to rapidly detect life-threatening blood-clotting problems in trauma patients, potentially reducing diagnostic time from hours ...

The interplay between physical exercise and haemostasis is complex and multifaceted. Recent investigations have demonstrated that acute bouts of exercise can trigger a series of haemostatic responses, ...

When our blood vessels are injured by cuts, abrasions, or bruises, it is vital that the bleeding is stopped, and the wound is sealed. This process is called hemostasis and involves two main components ...
