Blood clotting and tissue healing

The number of blood clots in society is expected to double by 2050. The risk of blood clotting increases significantly after injury, surgery, or leg immobilization. However, the effects of blood clots on tissue healing and the underlying regulatory mechanisms remain largely unknown.

Novel tissue biomarker candidates to predict both deep venous thrombosis and healing outcome after Achilles tendon rupture - Scientific Reports

Scientific Reports - Novel tissue biomarker candidates to predict both deep venous thrombosis and healing outcome after Achilles tendon rupture

​A recent study investigated the occurrence of deep venous thrombosis (DVT)—a serious condition where blood clots form in deep veins—in patients who suffered Achilles tendon ruptures (ATR). The researchers aimed to identify tissue biomarkers that could predict both DVT development and long-term patient outcomes.

The study found specific biomarkers in tissue samples from ATR patients that were associated with a higher risk of developing DVT. These biomarkers could potentially serve as early warning signs, allowing for timely interventions to prevent complications. Additionally, they found that these biomarkers were linked to poorer long-term outcomes in patients, suggesting they could also help predict recovery trajectories.​

This research underscores the need to develop effective blood clot prevention strategies to improve both patient recovery and overall outcomes after injuries.
