Scientists Develop Injectable Clotting Agent

When someone is seriously bleeding, it’s a race against time. In a hospital, internal bleeding can be controlled, but in the field is another story. A recent EurekAlert! article discussed a new development that could help save trauma victims on the front lines. A team of researchers, funded by Harvard’s Blavatnik Biomedical Accelerator, has developed an injectable clotting agent that proved to reduce blood loss by 97% in mice models.
