The top panel, designed with BioRender.com, illustrates the process of clot formation and lysis, beginning with platelet aggregation and activation of the coagulation cascade, followed by the ...

However, additional thrombin generation and fibrin formation, maturation of the fibrin network, and generation of antifibrinolytic mechanisms that protect the clot from premature degradation occur ...

Fibrin plays a major role in stopping bleeding and healing wounds. However, if fibrin is formed in excess, e.g., in chronic wounds, thrombosis and subsequent vascular occlusions can occur. Therefore, ...

A group of researchers from the United States discovered that the spike glycoprotein of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) can induce the formation of highly inflammatory ...

A Ghanaian researcher, Nana Kwame Kwabi Boateng, is part of a team of scientists that has made a groundbreaking discovery, ...

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

When our blood vessels are injured by cuts, abrasions, or bruises, it is vital that the bleeding is stopped, and the wound is sealed. This process is called hemostasis and involves two main components ...
