A lightning-fast microscope paired with AI now lets scientists watch platelets form clots in real time, all from a simple arm draw. The technique flagged higher platelet clumping in acute-symptom ...

Have you ever been in a classroom and wondered to yourself whether the information being presented could be wrong? During graduate school, I audited a medical school class in which the professor ...

Researchers from the University of Tokyo have found a way to observe clotting activity in blood as it happens—without needing invasive procedures. Using a new type of microscope and artificial ...

Thrombocytopenia, or a low platelet count, can impair blood clotting, potentially leading to severe bleeding from wounds. Underlying health conditions like autoimmune diseases and cancers, as well as ...

Thrombocytopenia is an autoimmune bleeding disorder in which the number of platelets in the blood is significantly lower than usual. The bone marrow produces platelets, which are blood cells that help ...
