Immune complexes containing citrullinated fibrinogen are present in the sera and synovium of rheumatoid arthritis patients and potentially contribute to synovitis. However, fibrinogen can inhibit the osteoclastogenesis of precursor cells. We investigated

Fibrinogen is a key coagulation protein, playing a critical role in hemostasis. It is the first factor to decrease to critical levels during bleeding. Hypofibrinogenemia is an important risk factor for bleeding in clinical settings, including pediatric ...

Erythrocyte sedimentation: Effect of aggregation energy on gel structure during collapse [PDF]
The erythrocyte (or red blood cell) sedimentation rate (ESR) is commonly interpreted as a measure of cell aggregation and as a biomarker of inflammation. It is well known that an increase of fibrinogen concentration, an aggregation-inducing protein for erythrocytes, leads to an increase of the sedimentation rate of erythrocytes, which is generally ...

Interaction of fibrinogen-magnetic nanoparticle bioconjugates with integrin reconstituted into artificial membranes [PDF]
Magnetic nanoparticles have a broad spectrum of biomedical applications including cell separation, diagnostics and therapy. One key issue is little explored: how do the engineered nanoparticles interact with blood components after injection? The formation of bioconjugates in the bloodstream and subsequent reactions are potentially toxic due to the ...

Fibrinogen interaction with complement C3: a potential therapeutic target to reduce thrombosis risk
Complement C3 binds fibrinogen and compromises fibrin clot lysis thereby enhancing thrombosis risk. We investigated the role of fibrinogen-C3 interaction as a novel therapeutic target to reduce thrombosis risk by analysing: i) consistency in the ...

Prognostic Impact of Pretreatment Plasma Fibrinogen in Patients with Locally Advanced Oral and Oropharyngeal Cancer. [PDF]
We aimed to determine the prognostic significance of pretreatment plasma fibrinigen in patients with oral and oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OOSCC).A cohort of 183 patients with locally advanced OOSCC receiving preoperative chemoradiotherapy was ...

Crotalus atrox venom preconditioning increases plasma fibrinogen and reduces perioperative hemorrhage in a rat model of surgical brain injury. [PDF]
Perioperative bleeding is a potentially devastating complication in neurosurgical patients, and plasma fibrinogen concentration has been identified as a potential modifiable risk factor for perioperative bleeding.

The use of fibrinogen concentrate for the management of trauma-related bleeding. A systematic review and meta-analysis [PDF]
Haemorrhage following injury is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. The role of fibrinogen concentrate in trauma-induced coagulopathy has been the object of intense research in the last 10 years and has been systematically analysed in ...

DNA methylation profiling of the fibrinogen gene landscape in human cells and during mouse and zebrafish development. [PDF]
The fibrinogen genes FGA, FGB and FGG show coordinated expression in hepatocytes. Understanding the underlying transcriptional regulation may elucidate how their tissue-specific expression is maintained and explain the high variability in fibrinogen ...
