Atherosclerosis involves the build up of fatty tissue within arterial walls, creating unstable structures known as plaques. These plaques grow until they burst, rupturing the wall and causing the ...

Red blood cells are the body's true shape shifters, perhaps the most malleable of all cell types, transforming - among many other forms - into compressed discs capable of going through capillaries ...

Researchers at the School of Engineering and Applied Science and the Perelman School of Medicine discovered that red blood cells play a critical role in the contraction of blood clots in the body. The ...

The plasma protein factor VIII (fVIII) is an essential blood clotting agent that is defective or absent in hemophilia-A patients. Systemic injection of fVIII is used to promote blood coagulation in ...

The first view of the physical mechanism of how a blood clot contracts at the level of individual platelets is giving researchers a new look at a natural process that is part of blood clotting. The ...
