Fibrinocellular

/ˌfɪbrɪnoʊˈsɛljələr/ adjective

Definition

Composed of or containing both fibrin and cells; relating to a mixture of fibrinous material and cellular elements.

Etymology

Combining 'fibrin' + 'cellular' (from Latin 'cellula' meaning small room or cell) + '-ar' (adjective ending). This describes tissue that is both protein-rich (fibrin) and cell-rich simultaneously.

Kelly Says

Fibrinocellular clots form in your blood vessels during certain infections, and they're harder for your body to break down than simple fibrin clots—this is why some infections can cause persistent clotting problems.
