Understanding blood clot mechanical stability: the role of factor XIIIa-mediated fibrin crosslinking in rupture resistance

Background: Embolization, or rupture of a thrombus, is a complication of thrombosis that increases mortality risk by up to 30%. Fibrin provides mechanical and structural stability to blood clots. Activated factor (F)XIIIa (FXIIIa), a transglutaminase, catalyzes the formation of isopeptide bonds betw...
