Human venous blood derivatives as fetal bovine serum substitute for fibroblast culture cells in a fibrin construct

Braz. j. oral sci; 23 (), 2024
Aim: Venous blood derivatives (VBDs) have been suggested as substitutes for Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS) to improve the clinical transition of cell-based therapies. The literature is not clear about which is the best VBDs substitute. The present study aimed to evaluate the influence of VBDs on cell viability...

Platelet-rich fibrin improves the osteoneogenesis in non-critical defects in calvaria: a histological and histometric study

Acta cir. bras; 38 (), 2023
Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) and autograft on non-critical bone repair. Methods: Four bone defects (8.3 × 2 mm) were produced on the calvarium of 15 rabbits. The surgical defects were treated with either autograft, autograft associated to PRF, P...

Treatment of Chondral Knee Lesions with Autologous Chondrocytes Embedded in a Fibrin Scaffold. Clinical and Functional Assessment

Abstract Objective The aim of our study is to analyze the clinical and functional results obtained using autologous chondrocytes embedded in a fibrin scaffold in knee joint injuries. Methods We included 56 patients, 36 men and 20 women, with a mean age 36 years. Six of the patients were professional at...

Recurrent pterygium resection associated to fibrin membrane graft: report of two cases

Rev. bras. oftalmol; 80 (2), 2021
ABSTRACT We propose a novel surgical technique in cases of aggressive recurrent pterygium non-subsidiary of treatment with conjunctival autografts or antimetabolites. Two presented cases were treated with surgical excision and a sutured plasma rich in growth factors membrane (mPRGF) followed by rich in g...

Factores de crecimiento en el plasma: herramienta terapéutica en dermatología

Las plaquetas contienen una gran cantidad de factores de crecimiento que participan en los procesos de cicatrización tisular. Entre ellos, el factor de crecimiento derivado de las plaquetas (PDGF), el factor de crecimiento transformante (TGF), el factor plaquetario 4 (PF4), la interleucina (IL)-1, el fa...

J. Health Sci. Inst; 38 (1), 2020
Objetivo – Avaliar a qualidade do plasma rico em plaquetas (PRP) e da fibrina rica em plaquetas (PRF) obtidos através de alguns tipos de protocolos de obtenção por meio da contagem de plaquetas e leucócitos nos materiais. Métodos – Foram coletadas amostras de sangue de voluntários mediante apro...

Uso do plasma rico em plaquetas (PRP) e plasma rico em fibrina (PRF) em defeitos peri-implantares: análises biomecânica e histomorfométrica

O presente trabalho teve o objetivo avaliar o uso do plasma rico em plaquetas (PRP) e plasma rico em fibrina (PRF) em defeitos peri-implantares por meio das análises biomecânica e histomorfométrica. Para tanto, 36 ratos machos adultos foram divididos em 3 grupos: controle (CO), plasma rico em plaqueta...

Chronic venous ulcers: a review on treatment with fibrin sealant and prognostic advances using proteomic strategies

Venous ulcers are the main causes of chronic lower-limb ulcers. The healing difficulties encourage the research and development of new products in order to achieve better therapeutic results. Fibrin sealant is one of these alternatives. Besides being a validated scaffold and drug delivery system, it poss...

Neuroprotection and immunomodulation by dimethyl fumarate and a heterologous fibrin biopolymer after ventral root avulsion and reimplantation

Ventral root avulsion (VRA) is an experimental approach in which there is an abrupt separation of the motor roots from the surface of the spinal cord. As a result, most of the axotomized motoneurons degenerate by the second week after injury, and the significant loss of synapses and increased glial react...
