AI Summary
Researchers at the University of Koblenz, led by Prof. Dr. Marie‑T. Hopp, have shown that heme—the iron‑containing component of hemoglobin—can inhibit an enzyme that helps dissolve blood clots. Their experiments reveal a molecular mechanism linking hemolysis to a heightened risk of thrombosis. The results were published in the International Journal of Biological Macromolecules, offering a new perspective on how clot breakdown may be regulated.
