Inherent fibrin fiber tension propels mechanisms of network clearance during fibrinolysis
(2020-04-15)Proper wound healing necessitates both coagulation (the formation of a blood clot) and fibrinolysis (the dissolution of a blood clot). A thrombus resistant to clot dissolution can obstruct blood flow, leading to vascular ... -
Microscale structural changes of individual fibrin fibers during fibrinolysis
(2022-01-07)Fibrinolysis is the enzymatic digestion of fibrin, the primary structural component in blood clots. Mechanisms of fibrin fiber digestion during lysis have long been debated and obtaining detailed structural knowledge of ... -
Towards Establishing Methods of Synthesis, Purification, and Structural Determination for Human Fibrinogen
(East Carolina University, 2023-05-04)Fibrinogen is a prevalent blood-based glycoprotein. In its polymerizable form, fibrin, it serves as the structural component of blood clots and helps to incorporate red blood cells, macrophages, and fibroblasts to the ...
