This study shows that arterial shear rates influence blood clot structure, composition, and mechanical properties, with higher shear rates leading to stiffer, platelet-rich clots.

This study investigates how Staphylococcus aureus forms fibrin-based biofilms in cardiovascular infections, showing coagulase is essential and fibrin strands form within 3 hours in human plasma.

This study uses whole genome sequencing to identify 18 novel genetic loci associated with plasma fibrinogen levels, including variants more common in African populations and linked to liver-related traits and disease.

This study compares automated tools for quantifying fibrous network structures in images, finding that tools reliably measure relative changes but not absolute values.

This paper evaluates the causal effect of fibrinogen on coronary heart disease using Mendelian randomization, finding a small effect with multi-variant methods but not with single variant approaches.
