Thrombin mediates fibrin polymerization and is known to be involved in acute and chronic inflammatory processes in vivo. Flick et al. have used various genetically engineered mouse models to study ...

Factor IIa causes factor I (fibrinogen) to make the stringy protein fibrin. Fibrin wraps itself in and around the temporary clot until it becomes a hard fibrin clot. This new clot seals the broken ...

"Other studies have found that spike protein alone can induce fibrin clots and induce neuroinflammation," she added. "We need to study this in larger patient groups and use multiple approaches to ...
