Description Twentieth monthly installment of our "What A Year!" website project, introducing life science breakthroughs to middle and high school students and their teachers. We all take blood clotting for granted ... until something goes wrong. Clotting is intensely complex and if even one step has en error, dire consequences may ensue. This story looks at Factor VIII, whose absence leads to Hemophilia A.
