Clotting is initiated by two processes or pathways - a slower but larger intrinsic pathway (contact activation pathway) or a very rapid extrinsic pathway (tissue factor pathway) - which lead to ...

Platelet spreading and clot contraction are controlled by different pathways. This discovery leads to safer treatments for ...

Until recently, researchers believed that platelet spreading and clot contraction were controlled by the same pathway. However a recent study from Thomas Jefferson University researchers challenges ...

The anti-clotting effect of aspirin may trigger a biological chain of events that stops cancer cells from metastasizing, researchers say.
