Why so many COVID-19 patients get blood clots (thrombosis) remains uncertain. But scientists have now identified a mechanism they believe to be implicated. A particular protein triggers a part of our ...

Researchers identify a molecular interaction between the COVID-19 vaccine adenovirus vector and platelet factors which may be the cause of rare blood clots linked to the vaccine. An international team ...

A team from Würzburg has fundamentally changed our understanding of platelet biology. The researchers demonstrate that the ...

One of the hallmarks of COVID-19, the disease caused by SARS-CoV-2, is a multi-organ system process characterized by the formation of blood clots in small vessels. What was most puzzling in the early ...

Under normal, healthy circulatory conditions, the von Willebrand Factor (vWF) keeps to itself. The large and mysterious glycoprotein moves through the blood, balled up tightly, its reaction sites ...

Why so many COVID-19 patients get blood clots (thrombosis) remains uncertain. But scientists at Uppsala University and the University Hospital have now identified a mechanism they believe to be ...

U.S. Army service members check a patient’s blood circulation at the Javits New York Medical Station’s intensive care unit on April 18, 2020, providing military support to the Federal Emergency ...

After studying blood samples from 244 patients hospitalized for COVID-19, a group of researchers, including those who work at the National Institutes of Health, identified “rogue antibodies” that ...

A new research paper looking at rare cases of blood clots in the brain and low platelets seen in some patients after vaccination has been published in the New England Journal of Medicine. The ...

Blood clotting, also known as coagulation, is a critical biological mechanism to prevent excessive blood loss in the event of an injury to a blood vessel. During this complex process, a cascade of ...
