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

Chronic eosinophilic granulomatous tenosynovitis in a Quarter Horse mare

Equine Veterinary Education, Volume 35, Issue 2, Page e91-e97, February 2023., 2023
Summary A 5‐year‐old Quarter Horse mare was presented to the Michigan State University Equine Surgery Service for evaluation of a right hind metatarsophalangeal joint injury. On presentation, the horse was a grade 4/5 lame. Radiographs and ultrasonography showed peritendinous ossification/mineralisation of soft tissue structures and digital flexor ...

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

Microrheology and structural quantification of hypercoagulable clots [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
We propose a combination of microrheological and structural characterizations of fibrin networks to study blood hypercoagulability. Fibrin is the central element of coagulation as its polymerization creates the network of fibers in which platelets and red blood cells are included.
