The multiple roles of red blood cells (RBCs) are often neglected as contributors in
hemostasis and thrombosis. Proactive opportunities to increase RBC numbers, either …

In response to vessel injury (or other pathological conditions), the hemostatic process is
activated, resulting in a fibrous, cellular-rich structure commonly referred to as a blood clot …

Non-compressible hemorrhage is an unmet clinical challenge that accounts for high
mortality in trauma. Rapid pressurized blood flows under hemorrhage impair the function …

Ischemic stroke is caused by a thromboembolic occlusion of cerebral arteries. Treatment is
focused on fast and efficient removal of the occluding thrombus, either via intravenous …

A State of the Art lecture titled “Blood Clot Contraction: Mechanisms, Pathophysiology, and
Disease” was presented at the International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis (ISTH) …

To reveal if coagulopathies relate to the course of COVID-19, we examined 255 patients with
moderate and severe COVID-19, receiving anticoagulants and immunosuppressive drugs …

Background Clot mechanical properties are influenced by composition and the arrangement
of components within the clot. This work investigates the effects of platelet-driven contraction …

Background Blood clot contraction, volume shrinkage of the clot, is driven by platelet
contraction and accompanied by compaction of the erythrocytes and their gradual shape …

Deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism affect 300,000–600,000 patients each year
in the US. To better understand the highly mechanical pathophysiology of pulmonary …

Cerebral cavernous malformation (CCM) is a neurovascular disease that results in various
neurological symptoms. Thrombi have been reported in surgically resected CCM patient …
