branchpoints. This issue, pp 1135–8. Summary Background: Blood clots perform the
mechanical task of stemming the flow of blood. Objectives: To advance understanding and
realistic modeling of blood clot behavior we determined the mechanical properties of the
major structural component of blood clots, fibrin fibers. Methods: We used a combined …
