BACKGROUND The blood coagulation cascade is an exquisite example of a responsive self-assembly process. When a wound if formed, a cascade of events is initiated. The net result of the cascade is an assembly of the globular protein fibrinogen, which is catalyzed by a second protein, thrombin, to

BACKGROUND A wide variety of compositions and devices have been developed for use in controlling bleeding. However, available compositions and dressings typically have only a modest hemostatic effect, so that bleeding continues for several (e.g., 2-3 minutes or more) after application of composition
