title: [Coagulation factor XIII: more than just a fibrin stabilizer].
abstract: The role played by coagulation factor XIII in the scarring process is considered. Identified in 1923, the role of factor XIII or the fibrin stabilizing factor in coagulation has been accurately described. Its role in scarring was defined as long ago as 1960 but continues to be unknown to haematologists and doctors treating burn patients. The aim of this paper is to cast more light on this role, which remains a mystery still to be unfolded.
