Read morePairing snake venom with nanofibers could make surgery safer for patients on blood thinners
Preventing blood clots with drugs such as heparin has become a common practice for fighting some heart and lung conditions, and for certain surgeries. But patients who take them also need their blood to clot to heal incisions made during operations. Researchers are developing a new way to tackle this problem - by pairing snake venom with nanofibers.
