Harnessing PROTAC Degraders to Develop Next-Generation Anti-thrombotic Therapies

Blood clots are central to life-threatening conditions such as heart attacks and strokes. Current antithrombotic treatments, including COX inhibitors and P2Y12 antagonists, are effective at preventing recurrent clots but carry a significant risk of bleeding due to their broad effects on haemostasis.
