About

    Thromboresistance refers to the ability of a material or surface to resist the formation of blood clots or thrombi. This research area focuses on developing materials, coatings, or medical devices that can prevent or reduce the risk of thrombosis, which is the formation of blood clots within blood vessels. Thromboresistant materials and surfaces are important in medical applications such as vascular stents, catheters, and heart valves, where the formation of blood clots can lead to serious health complications. Researchers in this field explore different strategies to modify surfaces and improve their thromboresistant properties, such as incorporating bioactive molecules or using physical or chemical treatments. The goal of thromboresistance research is to develop safer and more effective medical devices that can reduce the risk of thrombotic events in patients.
