Fig. 1From: Microfluidic thrombosis analysis system: possibilities and limitationsThe mechanism of thrombus formation based on varying shear rates. Under low shear rates, thrombus primarily consists of red blood cells and fibrinogen, displaying red color. Elevated shear rates trigger platelet activation and lead to the aggregation of activated platelets with vWF and fibrin, which results in the formation of white thrombusBack to article page
