Fibrinolysis in strong magnetic fields

Abstract

The authors have observed that the fibrinolytic process in strong magnetic fields up to 8 T was enhanced. In this study, they focused on the mechanism of this phenomenon. First, they observed that gradient magnetic fields eroded a fibrin gel in a specific direction. Second, they carried out an experiment to measure concentrations of fibrin in magnetic fields and concluded that redistribution of fibrin polymers concentration occurred in gradient magnetic fields up to 8 T.<>
