Matthew Flick: New Evidence on SARS-CoV-2 Spike Protein and Clot Formation
Matthew Flick, Professor at University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, shared on LinkedIn about a recent article he and his colleagues co-authored, adding:
”I’m excited to report that our latest publication is now available online in Blood Advances – Blood Journals Portfolio.
Here we provide data supporting the idea that the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein conditionally binds fibrin(ogen), but we refute the concept that it influences plasma clot fibrin formation, structure, or lysis.
Outstanding work by lead author Kadri Kangro. Another amazing collaboration with my colleague Alisa Wolberg and her team, namely Samer Issa.”
Title: SARS-CoV-2 spike protein can bind fibrin(ogen), but does not alter plasma fibrin formation, clot structure, or lysis
