Humans, and Piglets, and Bears, Oh My! Preventing Dangerous Blood Clots

'Don't poke the bear', they said. But that's exactly what a team of scientists have been doing, to discover the secrets of blood clotting. Hibernating bears, paralysed humans, and pigs kept in small enclosures all avoid dangerous blood clots, despite being immobile for extremely long ...

Novel Regulatory Mechanism of Blood Clotting Discovered

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

Aspirin as Effective as Blood Thinner Injections to Prevent Deadly Complications in Patients Hospitalized With Bone Fractures

Patients hospitalized with fractures typically receive an injectable blood thinner, low-molecular-weight heparin, to prevent life-threatening blood clots. A new clinical trial, however, found that inexpensive over-the-counter aspirin is just as ...

Blood Clotting Research Holds Hope for Sepsis

Researchers who identified a novel mechanism for platelet activation in pathogenic blood clotting (thrombosis) are now turning their attention to ...

Could EKGs Help Doctors Use AI to Detect Pulmonary Embolisms?

Pulmonary embolisms are dangerous, lung-clogging blot clots. In a pilot study, scientists showed that artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms can detect signs of these clots in electrocardiograms ...

Drug Made from Pig Intestine Helps Escape the 'Trap' of Clot-Causing Immune Response

Two complementary studies show that defibrotide can successfully suppress the formation and progression of neutrophil extracellular traps, or NETs, which are web-like networks of toxic proteins that ...

Changes in the Blood, Not the Heart, May Underlie Cardiac Thrombosis in COVID-19 Patients
