A blood clot or thrombus, is the final product of the blood coagulation step in hemostasis. It is achieved via the aggregation of platelets that form a platelet plug, and the activation of the humoral coagulation system (i.e. clotting factors).
Many reports illustrate that Coagulation factor XIIIa (FXIIIa) has diverse and crucial functions in thrombus for¬mation and stability.
