The formation of a fibrin clot is the body's first step in natural wound repair. Following any vascular insult, a coagulation cascade occurs resulting in a cross-linked fibrin matrix, which entraps platelets and other blood components to create a stable hemostatic plug. This meshwork serves as the substrate upon which endogenous cells transmigrate and intrinsically regenerate the lesion. 2, record 1, English, - fibrin%20clot
