Blood clots are associated with life-threatening conditions such as sepsis, sickle cell disease, heart attack, and stroke.

Our blood consists of many cell types that develop through different stages from a precursor type—the blood stem cell. An international research team led by Universitätsmedizin Frankfurt and Goethe ...

Your platelets — blood cells that help with clotting — can also become irregular. All of this makes blood clots more likely to form, which in turn can lead to other dangerous complications ...

Platelet spreading and clot contraction are controlled by different pathways. This discovery leads to safer treatments for ...

Once enough layers of platelets accumulate, like stacks of sandbags against a flood, a blood clot is formed, trapping red blood cells. When the break occurs in a blood vessel, the clot contracts ...

Through several intermediate stages, these stem cells develop into oxygen-transporting erythrocytes, blood-clotting platelets, and the large group of white blood cells which orchestrate the immune ...

CNIO researchers discover that, in mice that eat a lot of fat, cancer cells travelling through the blood surround themselves with platelets, which act as an armor-like protection as they spread. In ...

blood cancers and sickle cell anemia, can have a higher risk of blood clots. The new study, published in the journal Science ...
