  2. Fibrin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibrin

    The image at the left is a crystal structure of the double-d fragment from human fibrin with two bound ligands. The experimental method used to obtain the image was X-ray diffraction, and it has a resolution of 2.30 Å. The structure is mainly made up of single alpha helices shown in red and beta sheets shown in yellow.

  3. Fibrin glue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibrin_glue

    Fibrin glue (also called fibrin sealant) is a surgical formulation used to create a fibrin clot for hemostasis, cartilage repair surgeries or wound healing. It contains separately packaged human fibrinogen and human thrombin .

  4. Fibrinogen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibrinogen

    Fibrinogen is made and secreted into the blood primarily by liver hepatocyte cells. Endothelium cells are also reported to make small amounts of fibrinogen, but this fibrinogen has not been fully characterized; blood platelets and their precursors, bone marrow megakaryocytes, while once thought to make fibrinogen, are now known to take up and store but not make the glycoprotein.

  5. Fibrin scaffold - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibrin_scaffold

    Fibrin scaffold use is helpful in repairing injuries to the urinary tract, [3] liver [4] lung, [5] spleen, [6] kidney, [7] and heart. [8] In biomedical research, fibrin scaffolds have been used to fill bone cavities, repair neurons, heart valves, [ 9 ] vascular grafts [ 10 ] and the surface of the eye.

  6. Coagulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coagulation

    The use of adsorbent chemicals, such as zeolites, and other hemostatic agents are also used for sealing severe injuries quickly (such as in traumatic bleeding secondary to gunshot wounds). Thrombin and fibrin glue are used surgically to treat bleeding and to thrombose aneurysms. Hemostatic Powder Spray TC-325 is used to treated gastrointestinal ...

  7. Plasma protein - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasma_protein

    Fibrinogen comprises 7% of blood proteins; conversion of fibrinogen to insoluble fibrin is essential for blood clotting. The remainder of the plasma proteins (1%) are regulatory proteins, such as enzymes, proenzymes, and hormones. All blood proteins are synthesized in liver except for the gamma globulins. [1]

  8. Fibrinolysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibrinolysis

    Plasmin breaks down fibrin into soluble parts called fibrin degradation products (FDPs). FDPs compete with thrombin, and thus slow down clot formation by preventing the conversion of fibrinogen to fibrin. This effect can be seen in the thrombin clotting time (TCT) test, which is prolonged in a person that has active fibrinolysis.

  9. Fibrous protein - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibrous_protein

    Fibrous proteins consist of many families including keratin, collagen, elastin, fibrin or spidroin. Collagen is the most abundant of these proteins which exists in vertebrate connective tissue including tendon, cartilage, and bone. [2]
