When it comes to blood clots, it is not only how they form that is crucial, but also how the body can break them down again. A team of researchers at the University of Koblenz, led by Prof. Dr. Marie-T. Hopp, has demonstrated that heme—a component of hemoglobin—can influence this process. The findings, published in the International Journal of Biological Macromolecules, provide a new molecular approach to better understanding the link between he…
A recent scientific study by researchers from the German University of Coblins revealed a possible mechanism that could affect the body's ability to dismantle blood clots.
