Platelet Research

Platelet research explores how these small cell fragments in our blood help with clotting and wound healing. Scientists study their behavior, production, and interaction with other cells to better understand bleeding disorders, such as hemophilia, and conditions like heart disease where clots can cause strokes or heart attacks. Advances include developing new treatments, improving blood donations, and designing engineered platelets for targeted therapy. This research enhances our knowledge of how blood clots form and how to manage related health issues effectively.
