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.

Tracheal repair with fibrin glue
The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 1985 This animal study evaluated Fibrin Sealant, a multicomponent biologic adhesive, in tracheal operations. We conclude that the use of Fibrin Sealant in tracheal reconstruction results in a stable, leakless trachea, has good systemic and local compatibility, promotes tracheal wound healing, and reduces significantly the number of sutures required for end ...

Molecular mechanisms, thermodynamics, and dissociation kinetics of knob-hole interactions in fibrin [PDF]
J. Biol. Chem. 2013 288(31): 22681-22692, 2015 Polymerization of fibrin, the primary structural protein of blood clots and thrombi, occurs through binding of knobs 'A' and 'B' in the central nodule of fibrin monomer to complementary holes 'a' and 'b' in the beta- and gamma-nodules, respectively, of another monomer.

Normal stresses in semiflexible polymer hydrogels [PDF]
Phys. Rev. E 97, 032418 (2018), 2017 Biopolymer gels such as fibrin and collagen networks are known to develop tensile axial stress when subject to torsion. This negative normal stress is opposite to the classical Poynting effect observed for most elastic solids including synthetic polymer gels, where torsion provokes a positive normal stress. As recently shown, this anomalous behavior in

Thermoresponsive stiffening with microgel particles in a semiflexible fibrin network [PDF]
, 2019 We report temperature-responsive soft composites of semiflexible biopolymer networks (fibrin) containing dispersed microgel colloidal particles of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (pNIPAM) that undergo a thermodynamically driven de-swelling transition above a Lower Critical Solution Temperature (LCST). Unlike standard polymer-particle composites, decreasing
