Dermatopontin (DP) is a small extracellular matrix component in the dermis. Fibrin is a major component of a provisional matrix that is formed just after wounding. Previously, we found that DP was present in the provisional matrix, and it interacted with fibrin. Here, we examined the role of DP on fibrin function. DP interacted with both the fibrin monomer and fibrils, and was incorporated into the fibrils during fibrin formation. A DP sequence, PHGQVVVAVRS, was identified as a fibrin-binding site, and a globular D domain of fibrin was the binding site for DP. DP accelerated fibrin fibril formation into structurally modified fibrils. Fibrin fibrils formed in the presence of DP enhanced both endothelial cell attachment and cell spreading. The attached cells developed a more organized cytoskeleton when compared with those that attached to fibrin fibrils only. The main receptor for cell adhesion was identified as αvβ3 integrin, and a cooperating receptor was a β1-containing integrin species, probably α5β1 integrin. These results indicate that DP can modify certain biological functions of fibrin, and thus a another function of this extracellular matrix protein was revealed. In addition, the fibrin-DP complex might become useful for developing an improved artificial matrix for improving wound healing.

Group a remains viable inside fibrin clots and gains access to human plasminogen for subsequent fibrinolysis and dissemination.

Unlabelled: Group A (GAS) is a major human pathogen that causes several invasive diseases including necrotizing fasciitis. The host coagulation cascade initiates fibrin clots to sequester bacteria to prevent dissemination into deeper tissues. GAS, especially skin-tropic bacterial strains, utilize specific virulence factors, plasminogen binding M-protein (PAM) and streptokinase (SK), to manipulate hemostasis and activate plasminogen to cause fibrinolysis and fibrin clot escape.

Purpose: To study the platelet adhesion and aggregation behaviour of late pregnancy women under arterial shear rate using microfluidic chip technology and evaluate the risk of thrombosis in late pregnancy.
Methods: We included pregnant women who were registered in the obstetrics department of our hospital between January 2021 and October 2022 and underwent regular prenatal examinations. Blood samples were collected at 32-35 weeks of gestation for routine blood tests and progesterone, oestradiol, and platelet aggregation function.

Background: The aim of this article is to evaluate the effect of different portions of Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF) membranes and liquid-PRF, prepared by two distinct protocols/centrifuges each, on the multispecies subgingival biofilm.
Materials And Methods: PRF membranes and liquid-PRF were prepared using two protocols: centrifuge 1 uses fixed acceleration while centrifuge 2, progressive acceleration. PRF samples were introduced into device concurrently with 33-species bacterial inoculum.

The retrospective study aimed to compare the space-maintaining effects of sticky bone (bone graft matrix enriched with injectable platelet-rich fibrin) and titanium mesh for bone augmentation in the aesthetic zone. Patients who underwent single implant placement and had type 2/4 alveolar bone defects (buccal bone wall loss is >50% of the expected implant length) were screened for inclusion in this study. The labial bone plate width was measured at 1, 3, and 5 mm below the apical implant platform on cone beam computed tomography images taken immediately and 6 months after surgery.

Rapid control of hemorrhage is vital in first-aid and surgery. As representative of emergency hemostatic materials, inorganic porous materials achieve rapid hemostasis through concentrating protein coagulation factors by water adsorption to accelerate the coagulation reaction process, however their efficacy is often limited by the insufficient contact of material with blood and the lack of blood clot strength. Herein, we report an ultrafast dispersing and in situ gelation sponge (SG/DB) based on anchoring interface effect for hemorrhage control using freeze drying method after mixing fish scale gel (SG) and tert-butyl alcohol (TBA) pre-crystallized diatom biosilica (DB).
