Nanoscale structural and mechanical characterization of fibrin polymerisation

Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), along with other complementary biophysical techniques, has been used to study several important aspects of the blood clotting process. High resolution imaging modes were used to observe single monomers of fibrinogen, through to oligomers and initial stage proto-fibrils...
