Research, significantly funded by New Zealand Doctors Speaking Out with Science (NZDSOS), provides definitive analysis that these structures are a previously unrecognized and abnormal form of intravascular clotting. "Since 2021, global reports, from embalmers and some clinicians have described the retrieval of long, elastic, white fibrous structures from blood vessels, distinct from ordinary post-mortem clots. New three-part study, using international labs on three continents, describes their structure, elemental composition and protein makeup. "Established that AICs are not ordinary clots. They are elastic, lumen-conforming, branched structures that form under active blood flow (shown by partial “Lines of Zahn”), yet are s...
