Collagen forms fibrous networks that reinforce tissues and provide an extracellular matrix for
cells. These networks exhibit remarkable strain-stiffening properties that tailor the …

Altered properties of fibrin clots have been associated with bleeding and thrombotic
disorders, including hemophilia or trauma and heart attack or stroke. Clotting factors, such …

Light scattering and turbidimetry techniques are classical tools for characterizing the
dynamics and structure of single nanoparticles or nanostructured networks. They work by …

We discuss how the range of information available from microparticle analysis can be
extended in a number of applications by measuring a specific set of optical properties of …

Background Altered fibrin fiber structure is linked to pathologic states, including coronary
heart disease, ischemic stroke, and atherosclerosis. However, several different techniques …

The dimensions of nanocelluloses are important factors in controlling their material
properties. The present study reports a fast and robust method for estimating the widths of …

Fibrin is a plasma protein with a central role in blood clotting and wound repair. Upon
vascular injury, fibrin forms resilient fibrillar networks (clots) via a multistep self-assembly …

Essentials• Venous thromboembolism (VTE) recurrence leads to decreased clot elastic
modulus in plasma.• Recurrent VTE is not linked to changes in clot structure, fiber radius, or …

Fibrin clot structure and function are major determinants of venous and arterial
thromboembolic diseases, as well as the key determinants of the efficiency of clot lysis …

Fibrin hydrogels are promising carrier materials in tissue engineering. They are
biocompatible and easy to prepare, they can bind growth factors and they can be prepared …
