Blood clots are associated with life-threatening conditions such as sepsis, sickle cell disease, heart attack and stroke. However, new research from Emory University may revolutionize how clinicians understand and treat these harmful blood clots, or thrombi, a byproduct of a condition called thromboinflammation. 

In a groundbreaking study published in Nature, researchers have discovered the potential to provide life-saving medications to patients with blood clots at the right time, with the right dose, in novel combinations based on a new model.  Source: Emory University News Center
