The dynamics of thrombin-induced fibrin gel formation was investigated by means of static
and dynamic light scattering. The decay time distribution function, obtained by the dynamic …

We present dielectric coagulometry as a new technique to estimate the risk of venous
thrombosis by measuring the permittivity change associated with the blood coagulation process. …

Procoagulant activities of different types and structures of collagen were examined. Collagens
used were types I (including its methylated and succinylated forms), II, III, IV and V. Each …

We have found that the adhesion and proliferation of endothelial cells can be drastically
improved when cultivated on an ion-implanted polymer surface. When the surface of segmented …

In our previous papers, we reported that factor IX (F-IX), when activated by erythrocyte
membranes, causes coagulation. We report on purification, identification, and characterization of F…

The three-dimensional (3-d) network structure of the gel composed of rigid rod-shaped protein
(fibrin gel) in a hydrated state was elucidated from a real space observation by confocal …

The flow curves of rabbit blood, human fetal blood, and human adult blood show no hysteresis,
a little hysteresis and considerable hysteresis, corresponding to their capacity of forming …

Analyses of the surface structure and properties of thermally heat-treated and non-treated
segmented-polyurethane (SPU) surfaces showed that a crystalline structure, the domain size …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Stronger cellular adhesion on the surface of endovascular
devices promotes accelerated healing of aneurysms. The purpose of this in vitro study was …
