Artificial Platelets can Speed Up Formation of Clots in Trauma Victims

Researchers are hoping to develop artificial platelets that can help natural blood platelets to form clots faster, thereby saving the lives of soldiers and victims of severe trauma. In preclinical tests led by a Case Western Reserve University researcher, the artificial platelets, called "hemostatic nanoparticles," when injected after blast trauma dramatically increased survival rates and showed no signs of interfering with healing or causing other complications ...
