Fibrin

Fibrin is a protein that plays a crucial role in the body's blood clotting process. When a blood vessel is injured, the body activates a series of steps that convert a blood protein called fibrinogen into fibrin. Fibrin forms a mesh-like network that traps blood cells, creating a clot to seal the wound and prevent further bleeding. This clot acts as a temporary barrier to promote healing. Once healing is complete, the body gradually breaks down the fibrin mesh, restoring normal blood flow. Fibrin is essential for stopping bleeding and initiating tissue repair.
