Coagulation: Coagulation is the process by which blood changes from a liquid to a gel, forming a blood clot. It potentially results in hemostasis, the cessation of blood loss from a damaged vessel, followed by repair.
Precision medicine and next-generation sequencing – Two terms characterized by a highly dynamic nature, strong innovations and a bright future. Both merged together will exert a decisiv...
Laboratory testing for coagulation factor deficiencies and inhibitors is very important for diagnosing and monitoring inherited and acquired coagulopathies and for evaluating the causes of co...
