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.

Our innate coagulation – or clotting – cascade is quite a dynamic, but formidable system. When optimally effective, it manages retention of a balanced condition between not too much bleeding and not ...

CRP, C-reactive protein; F, factor; IL-6, interleukin 6; NO, nitric oxide; PAI-1, plasminogen activator inhibitor-1; ROS, reactive oxygen species; TNF-α, tumor necrosis factor-α; vWF, von Willebrand ...

(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 ...

Polymorphisms in adipokine-related genes to predict treatment outcomes in patients (pts) with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) treated with bevacizumab-based chemotherapy. This is an ASCO Meeting ...

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 ...
