Fibriniverkostoja

Fibriniverkostoja, also known as fibrin networks or fibrin mesh, are complex three-dimensional structures primarily composed of fibrinogen and its activated form, fibrin. These networks play a crucial role in hemostasis, the process of stopping bleeding. When a blood vessel is injured, a cascade of reactions leads to the activation of thrombin, an enzyme that converts soluble fibrinogen circulating in the blood into insoluble fibrin monomers. These monomers then spontaneously aggregate and polymerize, forming a fibrous network.

This fibrin network acts as a scaffold, trapping blood cells, platelets, and other plasma proteins to form a blood clot. The clot effectively seals the damaged blood vessel, preventing further blood loss. Beyond hemostasis, fibrin networks are also involved in wound healing, providing a temporary matrix for cell migration and tissue repair. The structure and density of the fibriniverkostoja can vary depending on physiological conditions and the specific tissue environment. Factors like the presence of other proteins and mechanical forces can influence the organization and stability of the mesh.
