- These materials, which mimic the way that the body naturally forms clots, could offer a way to keep people with severe internal injuries alive until they can reach a hospital.
- The nanoparticle mimics the action of platelets, the cells that initiate blood clotting, while the polymer mimics the action of fibrinogen, a protein that helps form clots.
- This technology could have a significant impact in preventing death from blood loss due to traumatic events such as car crashes or combat injuries
