2/2 Microclot inflammatory molecule content is important, as identifying these could be the answer to finding diagnostic markers to distinguish between diseases. @dbkell

[Resia Pretorius @resiapretorius]

1/2 More evidence about differences in microclots in health and disease. It is not numbers/sizes alone that are important, but the footprint of the molecules associated and trapped in them. @dbkell
