According to new RCSI research, immune cells that 'remember' past inflammation could increase the risk of blood clots in the long term.

The 'shortened fuse' in these cells may contribute to a higher blood clot risk in inflammatory conditions.

A man (Prof Roger Preston) with short, light brown hair stands in a modern, glass-walled corridor with a skylight ceiling. He is wearing a dark grey suit, a light blue striped shirt, and a dark blue tie. He has a confident expression with a slight smile and his arms crossed. The background features a contemporary interior design with glass partitions, metal framing, and a curved black railing leading down a staircase.
