Fibrin is a protein polymer that is essential for hemostasis and thrombosis, wound healing,
and several other biological functions and pathological conditions that involve extracellular …

This review focuses on fibrin, starting from biological mechanisms (its production from
fibrinogen and its enzymatic degradation), through its use as a medical device and as a …

The chief and largely terminal element of normal blood clotting is considered to involve the
polymerisation of the mainly α-helical fibrinogen to fibrin, with a binding mechanism …

The behaviours of microparticles inside a sessile droplet actuated by surface acoustic waves
(SAWs) were investigated, where the SAWs produced an acoustic streaming flow and …

Arterial thrombosis is the primary cause of death worldwide, with the most important risk
factors being smoking, unhealthy diet, and physical inactivity. However, although there are …

Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) is a powerful, high-resolution imaging technique
widely used to analyze the structure of fibrin networks. Currently, structural features, such as …

We demonstrate that small unidirectional applied-stresses during temperature-induced
gelation dramatically change the gel temperature and the resulting mechanical properties …

The coagulation cascade represents a sophisticated and highly choreographed series of
molecular events taking place in the blood with important clinical implications. One key …

BACKGROUND: Dynamic mechanical analysis of blood clots can be used to detect the
coagulability of blood. OBJECTIVE: We investigated the kinetics of clot formation by …

A number of biological tissues and synthetic gels consist of a fibrous network infused with
liquid. There have been a few experimental studies of the rheological properties of such gels …
