Interactions between Single Fibrin Fibers are Measured for the First Time

Cells and tissue change their structural properties to cope with large strains e.g. caused by blood flow and external stress. Understanding microstructural remodeling of the extracellular matrix requires knowledge of biological events down to the smallest scale. One of the mechanisms involved in this process is the formation of fibrin…
