✦ Synopsis

Present research on the relationship between thrombosis and circulation is collected in this volume. Basic and clinical studies of thrombosis, fibrinolysis and platelets are reported. In particular, new proteins found in leeches or snakes which might be used to treat or prevent thrombosis are discussed.
