Magnetic Nanoparticles Will Help Stop Internal Bleeding 15 Times More Effectively
Scientists from ITMO University have found a way to effectively stop internal bleeding by magnetically driven nanoparticles containing thrombin. A drug based on these nanoparticles can be injected intravenously and delivered straight to the site of a vascular injury. It can accelerate local clot formation and reduce overall blood loss by 15 times. The nanoparticles…
Targeted Drug Dissolves Blood Clots, Has Fewer Side Effects
Critical conditions associated with the blockage of blood vessels are one of the primary health concerns worldwide. The main objective of emergency assistance in such conditions is to effectively implement thrombolysis, i. e. to quickly dissolve the clot. To this end, scientists from ITMO University in cooperation with Mariinsky Hospital in Saint Petersburg have developed a magnetically…
