Saliva activates coagulation in patients with hemophilia A, study finds

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