Interplay between platelets, coagulation factors, endothelial cells (ECs) and fibrinolytic factors is necessary for effective hemostatic plug formation. This study describes a four-dimensional (4D) imaging platform to visualize and quantify hemostatic plug components in mice with high spatiotemporal resolution. Fibrin accumulation following laser-induced vascular injury was observed at the platelet plug-EC interface, controlled by the antagonistic balance between fibrin generation and …
