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.

Studies by researchers at Columbia University Irving Medical Center suggest that one of the immune system’s oldest branches, the complement system, and coagulation dysfunction, may be influencing the ...

Factor XI, a coagulation factor that is part of the intrinsic blood clotting pathway, is part of a newly discovered circuit that links coagulation, inflammation and hypertension. Researchers described ...

Blood clotting can lead to life-threatening heart attacks and strokes, and current treatments can lead to excessive bleeding and other worrisome side effects. But researchers now say they've found a ...

Researchers at Kumamoto University have developed a highly sensitive blood test that can detect subtle differences in how easily blood begins to clot, offering new possibilities for tailoring ...

A novel class of antithrombotic medication, the factor XIa inhibitors, has had a rocky start but is powering through phase III trials, which are now underway. MedPage Today sat down to discuss the ...

Using a high-sensitivity blood test (SMAT) that measures initial thrombin generation (ITG)—the very first step of blood clot formation—the researchers analyzed blood samples from 771 patients with ...

As people age they become more prone to blood clotting diseases, which can be caused when blood platelets clump together. This clumping can lead to strokes and cardiovascular disease. For decades, ...

Researchers at Oregon Health & Science University have uncovered how a molecule found on certain bacteria may drive blood clotting in sepsis, a life-threatening condition that causes about 8 million ...

Protein S activity is a test to judge your risk of blood clots. Blood clots that form in the veins are dangerous. Protein S is a substance that controls the blood clotting mechanism and prevents ...
