Steve Hur – Doctoral Exam
“The Roles of Fibrinolysis in Regulating Coagulation Factor XIII,” by Steve Hur, Candidate in Kastrup Lab. Abstract: Coagulation factor XIII (FXIII) is a protransglutaminase enzyme that is activated at the end of the coagulation cascade. Activated FXIII (FXIIIa) stabilizes the blood clot from premature lysis by covalently crosslinking fibrin molecules to itself and to other […] Read More
