For 40 years, researchers relied on horseshoe crab blood to catch endotoxins in drugs. Now, synthetic alternatives and ...

Everyone experiences nosebleeds at some point, but nosebleeds with no known cause can be a sign of hemophilia, according to ...

When we bleed, this initiates the coagulation — or clotting cascade — that activates proteins on platelets to clump to fill the hole in the blood vessel, so we stop bleeding, Sekeres explained.

Clotting factor deficiencies, either congenital (like hemophilia) or acquired (from liver disease or vitamin K deficiency), interfere with the cascade of reactions needed for stable clot formation.

Even seemingly minor injuries can trigger the clotting cascade when combined with other risk factors. Hypercoagulability – an increased tendency for blood to form clots – contributes ...

Doctors might have figured out why AstraZeneca's COVID-19 vaccine may cause life-threatening blood clots in very rare cases.

Proteomic analysis indicates that senescent cells contribute to blood clotting, most likely via stimulation of platelets, suggesting ways to counter chemo-related thrombosis ...

The major causes of postpartum hemorrhage are uterine atony, lacerations, retained placenta or clots, and clotting factor deficiency. Uterine massage, oxytocin, and methylergonovine are the main tr ...
