Researchers develop a system to treat internal bleeding, which can help form blood clots faster.
Blood clotting is the first line of defense our bodies have against injuries. It helps in infection confinement and inactivation. When a person is injured, oftentimes precious time is lost between an accident and getting the patient accessible medical care.
This is a major cause of concern in case of internal injuries, like a blood vessel bursting in the brain or potentially fatal injuries from a car crash. Since the body loses a lot of blood in such injuries, it’s not able to quickly produce the key components required to kickstart the process of blood clotting.have developed a system to treat internal bleeding, which can be directly injected into the bloodstream and help form blood clots faster.
Celestine Hong, the co-author of the study, further explains, “When both components are at high concentration, you get more cross-linking, and they begin forming that glue and helping the clotting process.” The tests were carried out on mice. The team found that the two-component system was extremely effective at stopping bleeding. Another advantage is that the clots formed don’t degrade as fast as naturally occurring clots do.
Paula Hammond, another author of the paper mentioned that the level of recovery from a severe injury seen in animal testing was remarkable. “By introducing two complementary systems in sequence it is possible to get a much stronger clot,” she added in an
