Blood coagulation protects from microbial infections. A recent study now shows that neutrophils fine tune the procoagulant response to invading pathogens (pages 887–896). Neutrophils degrade an ...
A recent study provides new insights into the mechanisms of coagulation in persons with haemophilia A, the most common form of haemophilia. The research team was able to show that saliva contains ...
In clinical laboratory settings, coagulation factor tests are routinely conducted to identify inherited or acquired deficiencies in patients suspected of an ongoing bleeding risk. These tests ...
Researchers at Kumamoto University have developed a highly sensitive blood test that can detect subtle differences in how ...
Under homeostatic conditions, the body is maintained in a finely tuned balance of coagulation and fibrinolysis. See Figure 1 for a depiction of normal hemostasis. The activation of the coagulation ...

A recent study led by MedUni Vienna provides new insights into the mechanisms of coagulation in persons with hemophilia A, the most common form of hemophilia. The research team was able to show that ...
The hemolytic–uremic syndrome is a thrombotic complication of Escherichia coli O157:H7 infection. It is not known whether the coagulation abnormalities precede, and potentially cause, this disorder.
Preanalytical errors and unsuitable samples can account for up to 70% of lab errors. 1 These errors can be attributed to improper specimen collection, specimen transportation, and specimen processing ...
