German Scientists Claim To Have Found Out, How To Prevent Vaccine Blood Clots

• ByStartupStory     |    June 3, 2021

 Scientists in Germany believe they might have found out the way to prevent vaccine blood clots. They have worked out vector-based vaccines like AstraZeneca and Johnson & Johnson’s Janssen cause a rare type of blood clot in some people. And they think they know how to adapt the vaccine to prevent the blood clots from occurring.

So far there has not been a satisfactory explanation on the suitable way to prevent the blood clots, the team at Goethe University in Frankfurt  said that while scientists have proposed a mechanism to explain vaccine-induced thrombocytopenia, a condition where a person has a low blood platelet count. 

“The viral piece of DNA, deriving from an RNA virus is not optimized to be transcribed inside of the nucleus.”In the nucleus, splicing of the spike protein can occur at splice sites. Rolf Marschalek, one of the study authors and a professor at Goethe University, told DW about the findings on the way to prevent vaccine blood clots, “But these sites are there by chance because RNA genes are not optimized for gene transcription inside the nucleus.”
