Thrombin flux and wall shear rate regulate fibrin fiber deposition state during polymerization under flow.
Thrombin is released as a soluble enzyme from the surface of platelets and tissue-factor-bearing cells to trigger fibrin polymerization during thrombosis under flow conditions. Although isotropic fibrin polymerization under static conditions involves protofibril extension and lateral aggregation leading to a gel, factors regulating fiber growth are poorly quantified under hemodynamic flow due t...

متن کاملMicrofluidic flow rate detection based on integrated optical fiber cantilever.
We demonstrate an integrated microfluidic flow sensor with ultra-wide dynamic range, suitable for high throughput applications such as flow cytometry and particle sorting/counting. A fiber-tip cantilever transduces flow rates to optical signal readout, and we demonstrate a dynamic range from 0 to 1500 microL min(-1) for operation in water. Fiber-optic sensor alignment is guided by preformed mic...
متن کاملBiophysical Mechanisms Mediating Fibrin Fiber Lysis
The formation and dissolution of blood clots is both a biochemical and a biomechanical process. While much of the chemistry has been worked out for both processes, the influence of biophysical properties is less well understood. This review considers the impact of several structural and mechanical parameters on lytic rates of fibrin fibers. The influences of fiber and network architecture, fibe...
متن کاملFlow rate-modulated dissolution of fibrin with clot-embedded and circulating proteases.
The efficiency of plasmin, miniplasmin, and neutrophil leukocyte elastase in fibrin digestion is well characterized in static systems. Since in vivo the components of the fibrinolytic system are permanently exposed to flow, we have developed two in vitro models and studied the effect of shear forces on fibrin dissolution with these proteases. Cylindrical nonocclusive fibrin clots are perfused a...
