Thrombin–Fibrin(ogen) Interactions, Host Defense and Risk of Thrombosis

Fibrinogen is a well-known risk factor for arterial and venous thrombosis. Its function is not restricted to clot formation, however, as it partakes in a complex interplay between thrombin, soluble plasma fibrinogen, and deposited fibrin matrices.
