After blood vessel damage, effective blood clotting is essential to halt bleeding. However, this process is inefficient in some individuals due to hereditary factors. Hemophilia B, for example, ...

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.

Megakaryocytes, which are derived from hematopoietic stem cell precursors in bone marrow, form and release platelets; these circulate in the blood for 8 to 10 days before they are removed by hepatic ...

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 expression of tissue factor (TF) is limited in normal tissues to the perivascular compartment where it acts as the receptor for the serin protease factor VIIa. This signaling axis triggers the ...

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 ...
