Abstract

Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) belongs to a new generation of platelet concentrates, with simplified processing and without biochemical blood handling. In this fourth article, investigation is made into the previously evaluated biology of PRF with the first established clinical results, to determine the potential fields of application for this biomaterial. The reasoning is structured around 4 fundamental events of cicatrization, namely, angiogenesis, immune control, circulating stem cells trapping, and wound-covering epithelialization. All of the known clinical applications of PRF highlight an accelerated tissue cicatrization due to the development of effective neovascularization, accelerated wound closing with fast cicatricial tissue remodelling, and nearly total absence of infectious events. This initial research therefore makes it possible to plan several future PRF applications, including plastic and bone surgery, provided that the real effects are evaluated both impartially and rigorously.

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function. Discover the latest research on adhesion molecule and their role in health and disease here.

Arterial-Venous in Development & Disease

Arterial-venous development may play a crucial role in cardiovascular diseases. Here is the latest research.

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.
