Background
Upon engagement of the clotting cascade, thrombin-mediated cleavage of the fibrinogen Aα and Bβ chains creates fibrin monomers and a platform for the polymerization of fibrin monomers into protofibrils and an insoluble web of stable fibrin fibers (4,5). Whereas thrombin is the enzyme that drives fibrin polymerization and clot formation, plasmin is the enzymatic counterpart that facilitates fibrinolysis and clot breakdown (6).
In addition to its position as a central node in the normal coagulation cascade, dysregulated fibrin deposition has been observed in pathological conditions such as cancer and viral infection (7,8).
