Noun
Context #1 | Noun

biological context

Fibrin is a protein that plays a crucial role in the blood coagulation process. It is formed from fibrinogen by the action of the enzyme thrombin during blood clotting. Fibrin strands weave together to form a mesh that helps stabilize the clot, thus preventing excessive bleeding. This mesh is essential for wound healing and tissue repair. Additionally, fibrin serves as a scaffold for cells involved in healing, facilitating their migration to the injury site.

Synonyms

clotting factor, protein

Examples of usage

  • The medical team monitored fibrin levels after the surgery.
  • Fibrin forms a protective barrier over the wound.
  • Doctors assess fibrin production during clotting tests.

Etymology

The term 'fibrin' is derived from the Latin word 'fibrina', which itself is derived from 'fibra', meaning 'fiber'. The history of the term dates back to the early 19th century when researchers began to better understand the processes of blood coagulation and the components involved. Fibrin was first identified in experiments studying blood clot formation, as scientists recognized the fibrous structure it formed when blood coagulated. Its role in hemostasis, the process of preventing and stopping bleeding, became clearer with advances in biochemistry and medicine. Over time, fibrin has been studied in relation to various conditions, including thrombosis, where excessive fibrin formation can lead to harmful blood clots. Today, fibrin is a key focus in medical research related to wound healing and tissue engineering, highlighting its importance in both foundational biology and practical application in healthcare.
