A recent study led by MedUni Vienna provides new insights into the mechanisms of coagulation in persons with haemophilia A, the most common form of haemophilia. The research team was able to show that saliva contains special vesicles that trigger rapid coagulation of the blood of haemophilic patients. The results, which were recently published in the renowned scientific journal Blood, contribute significantly to a better understanding of the disease.
