Identifying the function of the Fibrin(ogen) alpha-C connector region

Overview
abstract
-
Blood clots form at the site of injuries, preventing the loss of blood during wound healing. Fibrin fibers hold blood clots together until the fibers are broken down by enzymes after the wound healing process terminates and normal blood flow resumes. In this project, we seek to study individual fibrin fibers to determine what influences their formation, why they are so elastic, and how enzymes are able to break them down.
