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 ...

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 ...

Hemophilia C, also known as factor XI deficiency, is a type of bleeding disorder. It occurs due to a deficiency in factor XI, which is a protein that plays an important role in the formation of blood ...

Blood clotting represents one of the body’s most elegant and complex protective mechanisms. This intricate process involves numerous proteins working in precise sequence – often described as a ...

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 ...

Researchers at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) have developed an artificial metal-based nanozyme that can potentially be used to clamp down on abnormal blood clotting caused by conditions like ...

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 ...

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, ...
