TYLER, Texas (KLTV) - A recent Tyler ISD graduate has created a 3-D animation to help students better understand a complicated biological process. To make a particular biology topic easier to digest, ...

Researchers at Georgia Tech have engineered “designer” blood clots—artificial platelets that could enhance the body’s natural clotting process and mitigate painful scarring. In animal trials, the ...

Beyond blood clotting, the work could have implications for other cellular systems that respond to mechanical force. In the beginning of the clotting process, human platelets use a highly specialized ...

Heart attacks and strokes -- the leading causes of death in human beings -- are fundamentally blood clots of the heart and brain. Better understanding how the blood-clotting process works and how to ...

If you've ever accidentally sliced yourself on a broken glass or a piece of paper, you may have noticed that the bleeding can be hard to stop. Scientists have long wondered how the cascade of events ...

The discovery solves a decades long puzzle about what sets off blood clotting. (Nanowerk News) If you’ve ever accidentally sliced yourself on a broken glass or a piece of paper, you may have noticed ...

A researcher at The University of Texas Health Center at Tyler has discovered how a small but crucial part of the blood-clotting process works. A researcher at The University of Texas Health Center at ...

Rare clotting factor deficiencies are a collection of bleeding disorders associated with issues with clotting factors. These conditions are inherited and target the proteins in the blood that control ...
