Asymmetrical Forces Dictate the Distribution and Morphology of Platelets in Blood Clots
Primary hemostasis consists in the activation of platelets, which spread on the exposed extracellular matrix at the injured vessel surface. Secondary hemostasis, the coagulation cascade, generates a fibrin clot in which activated platelets and other ...

Fibrin is a critical regulator of neutrophil effector function at the oral mucosal barrier
Description Fibrin gums up the works Plasmin is an abundant plasma protease that cleaves and deactivates the clot-associated protein fibrin. Human deficiencies in plasmin and its inactive proenzyme form, plasminogen (PLG), cause severe inflammation in ...

Advances in Fibrin-Based Materials in Wound Repair: A Review
The first bioprocess that occurs in response to wounding is the deterrence of local hemorrhage. This is accomplished by platelet aggregation and initiation of the hemostasis cascade.

Cellular mechanisms of fibrin (ogen): insight from neurodegenerative diseases
Neurodegenerative diseases are prevalent and currently incurable conditions that progressively impair cognitive, behavioral, and psychiatric functions of the central or peripheral nervous system. Fibrinogen, a macromolecular glycoprotein, plays a crucial

Effects of Antiplatelet Drugs on Platelet-Dependent Coagulation Reactions
Activated platelets are involved in blood coagulation by exposing phosphatidylserine (PS), which serves as a substrate for assembling coagulation complexes.

Not fibrin(ogen), but fibrinogen or fibrin [PDF]
In this issue of Blood, Prasad et al describe a mouse model with a mutation in the Aα chain of fibrinogen such that no fibrin polymer is formed in vivo, allowing for the first time the differentiation of the role of fibrinogen vs fibrin oligomer or polymer in antimicrobial host defense and in hemostasis/thrombosis.

Fibrin(ogen) in human disease: both friend and foe
Fibrinogen is an abundant protein synthesized in the liver, present in human blood plasma at concentrations ranging from 1.5-4 g/L in healthy individuals with a normal half-life of 3-5 days. With fibrin, produced by thrombin-mediated cleavage, fibrinogen
