Breaking Research Decodes the Mystery of “The Rubbery White Clots”

First time, comprehensively characterised the anomalous intravascular casts (AICs),

commonly reported by embalmers worldwide as strange, rubbery white clots.

Research, significantly funded by New Zealand Doctors Speaking Out with Science (NZDSOS),

provides definitive analysis that these structures are a previously unrecognised 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.

Concluding they represent a novel and persistent pathological entity

Key Findings of the Trilogy:

Paper 1: Morphology & Histology

https://www.preprints.org/manuscript/202601.1846

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 strikingly devoid of intact red blood cells and platelets.

Their rubber-like consistency and cohesive strength are incompatible with known pre- and post-mortem changes.

Lines of Zahn

characteristic of thrombus formed at the site of rapid arterial blood flow,

with laminations produced by successive deposition of platelets and fibrin (pale layers),

alternating with red blood cells (dark layers).

Paper 2: Elemental Analysis

Revealed the clots have a bizarre chemical fingerprint.

They are depleted in sulphur (a key marker of protein) and enriched in phosphorus,

a composition impossible for a normal, protein-dominant fibrin clot.

This indicates a hybrid organic-inorganic matrix, not a simple blood clot.

Paper 3: Proteomic Analysis

https://www.preprints.org/manuscript/202601.2319

Solved the protein puzzle.

While the clots do contain fibrinogen,

the building block of normal clots,

the fibrin chains are in a very abnormal ratio (~1:7:3 for α:β:γ chains vs. the normal 1:1:1).
