flag New microgel reduces infant bleeding during surgery by mimicking platelets.

flag Biomedical engineers have developed an injectable microgel designed to reduce bleeding in infants during surgery. flag Unlike adult blood, infant blood has a different clotting process, and standard transfusions can cause dangerous blood clots. flag The new microgels mimic natural platelets and enhance clotting, showing a 50% to 60% reduction in blood loss in early tests. flag While promising, the technology is still in preclinical stages and not yet ready for human use.
