blood clot fiber study may aid treatment



Body parts to heal body parts! Blood clots are made of fibers that are found to be not only more elastic than rubber bands, but also stretchier than spider webs! They are rather even tougher than doctors suspected. This discovery is groundbreaking as could help improve treatment of heart attacks and strokes.



These fibers, 1,000 times smaller than a human hair - are really and amazingly tough. Once it is understood, how much these fibers can be stretched before they break, it would be able to bust up blood clots on demand.
