Stopping heavy bleeding with next-generation artificial platelets
Biomedical researchers at Case Western Reserve University report that their latest innovation in developing synthetic platelets could help save lives by rapidly stabilizing clots to reduce blood loss from traumatic injuries. This new effort centers on the creation of next-generation, platelet-mimicking nanoparticles. These particles help generate a protein mesh that acts as a natural netting to stabilize...
