The coagulation cascade is a finely balanced system essential for maintaining haemostasis, yet its disruption can lead to either a propensity for bleeding or an increased risk of clot formation.

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 ...

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 ...

CAMBRIDGE, MA — MIT engineers have designed a two-component system that can be injected into the body and help form blood clots at the sites of internal injury. These materials, which mimic the way ...

A recent study provides new insights into the mechanisms of coagulation in persons with haemophilia A, the most common form of haemophilia. The research team was able to show that saliva contains ...

Scientists have developed an artificial metal-based nanozyme that can potentially be used to clamp down on abnormal blood clotting caused by conditions like pulmonary thromboembolism. (Nanowerk News) ...

Hemophilia B, also known as Christmas disease, is a bleeding disorder. Its characteristic feature is a deficiency of clotting factor IX. This is a protein present in the blood that helps with ...

Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) is a severe systemic disorder characterised by paradoxical clotting and bleeding, commonly triggered by sepsis – the body’s dysregulated response to ...

Researchers who identified a novel mechanism for platelet activation in pathogenic blood clotting (thrombosis) are now turning their attention to sepsis. Researchers from the University of Birmingham, ...
