Article Synopsis
- This study investigates how platelets and activated factor XIIIa (FXIIIa) influence the formation and structuring of the fibrin network in blood clots and their effect on clot breakdown (lysis).
- Researchers used turbidimetry and confocal microscopy to examine the clotting process and structural changes in the fibrin network under different conditions, specifically comparing platelet-rich and platelet-free plasma.
- Findings reveal that platelets play a crucial role in organizing the fibrin network, which affects how quickly the clot dissolves, suggesting potential new ways to treat blood-related disorders.
