See Figure 1 for a depiction of normal hemostasis. The activation of the coagulation cascade yields thrombin that converts fibrinogen to fibrin; the stable fibrin clot being the final product of ...

This model incorporates the coagulation cascade, particularly the role of fibrin formation in low-shear environments, such as those found in medical devices like blood oxygenators. The findings ...

Clotting cascade: Carboxylated polystyrene particles (cPS) can activate the clotting cascade, increasing fibrin polymerization rates and clot strength. Microplastics in blood clots: Microplastics ...

One blood protein in particular—fibrin, normally involved in blood coagulation—is responsible for setting off this ...
