Blood clot, artwork C016 / 4619
Blood clot in a blood vessel, computer artwork. Red blood cells (erythrocytes) are trapped within a fibrin protein mesh (cream). The fibrin mesh is formed in response to chemicals secreted by platelets (white), fragments of white blood cells. Clots are formed in response to cardiovascular disease or injuries to blood vessels

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Blood clot, artwork C016 / 4619" showcases the intricate details of a blood clot within a blood vessel. Against a striking black background, this computer-generated artwork brings to life the complex biological processes that occur during clot formation. The image reveals red blood cells (erythrocytes) ensnared in a delicate cream-colored fibrin protein mesh. This mesh is formed as a response to chemicals secreted by platelets, which are fragments of white blood cells depicted in white. Clots like these typically emerge due to cardiovascular disease or injuries sustained by blood vessels. Every element in this composition serves as an essential component of our body's natural defense mechanism against excessive bleeding. The clump-like structure symbolizes the coagulation process and highlights the vital role played by proteins such as fibrin. Through its meticulous depiction, this artwork not only offers insight into the biology behind clotting but also emphasizes the significance of maintaining healthy cardiovascular function. Created by TIM VERNON for Science Photo Library, this visually stunning piece invites viewers to appreciate both the beauty and complexity found within our own bodies.
