Blood clotting, also known as coagulation, is a complex process that helps prevent excessive bleeding when a blood vessel is injured. The process involves a series of events where platelets and proteins in the blood work together to form a clot and stop the bleeding. This process is crucial for maintaining the body's hemostasis and preventing hemorrhage. Abnormalities in blood clotting can lead to various health issues, such as excessive bleeding or the formation of blood clots in blood vessels, which can cause serious conditions like deep vein thrombosis, stroke, or pulmonary embolism. Research in this area focuses on understanding the mechanisms of blood clotting, identifying factors that contribute to clot formation, and developing treatments for clotting disorders. This research is important for improving the diagnosis, management, and prevention of clotting disorders and related complications.
