fibrins
Wound sealing threads
Fibrins is the plural of fibrin, a protein that forms the structural basis of blood clots.
When you cut yourself, fibrin strands weave together into a mesh that traps blood cells and platelets, creating a clot that stops bleeding.
The word appears most often in medical and scientific contexts discussing coagulation, wound healing, or clotting disorders.
The lab analyzed the fibrins present in the sample.
