CWRU artificial platelet therapy for blast and trauma victims one step closer to human trials
The Plain Dealer: Erin Lavik, the Elmer Lincoln Lindseth Associate Professor in Biomedical Engineering, discussed the study she led on the development of an artificial platelet to slow internal bleeding after trauma. “We’re seeing that not only do they improve survival in the short term, but that they’re improving survival over the long term, and we’re not seeing complications, which is really exciting,” she said.
