Hemostasis, the process of normal physiological control of vascular damage, is fundamental to human life. We all suffer minor cuts and puncture wounds from time to time. In hemostasis, self-limiting platelet aggregation leads to the formation of a structured thrombus in which bleeding cessation comes from capping the hole from the outside.

Afibrinogenemia is a coagulation disorder that occurs with a frequency of 1-2 cases/1,000,000 population and is characterized by a lack of capacity to synthesize fibrinogen. The predominant symptoms related to fibrinogen deficiency are mucocutaneous bleeding, bleeding from the gastrointestinal tract, genital tract or other vascularized tissues as well as excessive bleeding after minor injuries or accidental cuts. Thromboembolic complications and impaired wound healing may also occur.

Minimally invasive neurological surgeries are increasingly being sought after for treatment in neurological pathologies and oncology. A critical limitation in these minimally invasive procedures is lack of specialized tools that allow for space-time controlled delivery of sufficient energy for coagulation and cutting of tissue. Advent of fiber-lasers provide high average power with improved beam quality (lower M), biocompatible silica fiber delivery, reduced cost of manufacturing, and radiant output stability over long operating periods.

Plasmodium and other vector-borne pathogens have evolved mechanisms to hijack the mammalian fibrinolytic system to facilitate infection of the human host and the invertebrate vector. Plasmin, the effector protease of fibrinolysis, maintains homeostasis in the blood vasculature by degrading the fibrin that forms blood clots. Plasmin also degrades proteins from extracellular matrices, the complement system, and immunoglobulins.
