A new study from the University of Alberta demonstrated that the blood clotting protein called fibrinogen also regulates MMP-2, an enzyme involved in immunity and in clot formation inside blood ...

There is a very precarious balance in our blood, between keeping our blood thin enough to flow through the smallest capillaries and being able to clot when needed. There are various clotting factors ...

Is fibrinogen concentrate useful for bleeding in high-risk cardiac surgery? In a study conducted in The Netherlands, [1] 647 patients (from 2011 to 2015) scheduled to have high-risk cardiac surgery ...

Recent investigations have increasingly underscored the role of fibrinogen—a key glycoprotein integral to blood coagulation—as a potential independent biomarker in cancer prognosis. Elevated plasma ...

Fibrinogen, the main coagulation factor in plasma, is associated with a wide range of diseases that have an inflammatory component. High levels of plasma fibrinogen have been observed in people with ...

Introduction: The insertion / deletion (I/D) polymorphism of the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) gene is associated with younger age at coronary artery disease (CAD) onset. Some data indicate the ...

- Emphasis on hemostatic resuscitation to reduce the number of hemorrhage-related deaths in the first hour of hospital admission fuels growth of the fibrinogen concentrates market - Initiatives ...

We now know that clots formed in the presence of low thrombin concentrations are composed of thick fibrin fibers highly susceptible to fibrinolysis, while clots formed in the presence of high thrombin ...
