Scientists have found a potential way to prevent blood clots which can cause heart attacks. They believe the discovery could aid the development of better heart attack prevention and treatment. The key is to remove a particular protein - PKC alpha - from specialist blood cells called platelets which play a key role in the formation of clots.
