Darwinian evolution says that complex systems arise through numerous successive, slight modifications that benefit the ...

Medical researchers have discovered a new regulator of the blood coagulation cascade. Researchers at the George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences (SMHS) have discovered a ...

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.

(Nanowerk News) Using gold nanoparticles, MIT researchers have devised a new way to turn blood clotting on and off. The particles, which are controlled by infrared laser light, could help doctors ...

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 ...

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 second component of Virhow's triad is blood coagulation factors (proteins present in plasma). These factors may be roughly divided into two groups: zymogen (proenzymes that can be converted into ...

Thrombosis is a harmful activation of the clotting process, which is associated with the occurrence of blood vessel-related diseases. Pathological enhancement of the clotting cascade causes thrombosis ...
