Silver nanoparticles show 'immense potential' in prevention of blood clots

Scientists are reporting discovery of a potential new alternative to aspirin, ReoPro, and other anti-platelet agents used widely to prevent blood clots in coronary artery disease, heart attack and stroke. Their study, scheduled for the June 23 issue of ACS Nano, a monthly journal, involves particles of silver -- 1/50,000th the diameter of a human hair -- that are injected into the bloodstream.
