MIT researchers are examining how different-sized polymer nanoparticles circulate in the body to aid in treating traumatic injuries.
Researchers are developing injectable nanoparticles that can attract cells to help stop the bleeding at the site of an internal injury until a patient can reach a hospital for further treatment. In an effort to highlight the mechanism of action and safety of the particles, chemical engineers at MIT have studied how they circulate in the body and interact with the platelets that promote blood clotting.
