Interference of Monoclonal Gammopathy with Fibrinogen Assay Producing Spurious Dysfibrinogenemia
TH Open, 2019 Abnormal coagulation properties indicative of a dysfibrinogenemia were found in the plasma of an asymptomatic 65-year-old male. An immunoglobulin k light chain was found to interfere with Fg functional assay and coagulation tests (activated partial ...

Levels of Fibrinogen Variants Are Altered in Severe COVID-19
TH Open, 2023 Background Fibrinogen variants as a result of alternative messenger RNA splicing or protein degradation can affect fibrin(ogen) functions. The levels of these variants might be altered during coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), potentially ...

Predicting the Mechanical Properties of Biopolymer Gels Using Neural Networks Trained on Discrete Fiber Network Data [PDF]
, 2021 Biopolymer gels, such as those made out of fibrin or collagen, are widely used in tissue engineering applications and biomedical research. Moreover, fibrin naturally assembles into gels in vivo during wound healing and thrombus formation. Macroscale biopolymer gel mechanics are dictated by the microscale fiber network.

Development and Optimisation of Hydrogel Scaffolds for Microvascular Network Formation
Bioengineering, 2023 Traumatic injuries are a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide; however, there is limited research on microvascular traumatic injuries. To address this gap, this research aims to develop and optimise an in vitro construct for traumatic injury ...

Variational approximation method for the long-range force transmission in biopolymer gels [PDF]
, 2022 The variational principle of minimum free energy (MFEVP) has been widely used in the study of soft matter statics. MFEVP can be used not only to derive equilibrium equations (including both bulk equations and boundary conditions), but also to develop direct variational methods (such as Ritz method) to find approximate solutions to these equilibrium ...

PLASMINOGEN ACTIVATION BY LOW MOLECULAR WEIGHT STREPTOKINASE AND FIBRIN EFFECT [PDF]
Biotechnologia Acta, 2014 The purpose is to study the plasminogen-activating activity of 36 kDa-streptokinase fragment, influences of desAB-fibrin on this process and low molecular weight streptokinase on plasmin catalytic properties as well. The 36 kDa-fragment lacking the 63
