Summary:
Local researchers have used a strategy that delivers a critical clotting protein through blood cells to prevent hemorrhaging in mice with hemophilia, a preliminary finding that may improve treatment of people with the hereditary bleeding disorder.
Although it is unknown if the technique ultimately will work in humans, the research provides particular hope for the small percentage of patients who don't respond to the standard treatment option.
Commentary: This study may provide a basis for further investigation into the developments of hemophilia and other blood disorders.
