Researchers at the University of Chicago crafted a simple model for predicting when and where hemostasis—the technical term for blood clotting—will occur. The microfluidic system that they created focuses on the interactions between blood and surfaces patterned to trigger blood clotting. It allows the researchers to separately monitor clotting in both blood plasma and a chemical model.
