AIM - Anastomotic leakage is among the most common complications following gastrointestinal surgery. MATERIAL AND METHODS - This study aimed to determine the effects of stem cells and platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) on anastomotic healing. The study included 60 rats that were randomly divided into 3 groups, each with 2 subgroups. The study included the control group (no treatment post anastomosis), the PRF group (PRF administered following anastomosis), and the PRF + stem cell group (PRF + stem cells administered following anastomosis). Anastomosis was performed at the descending colon in all groups. Anastomosis bursting pressure was determined, and histopathological and angiographic examination were performed on postoperative D 7. RESULTS - Intraabdominal adhesion was significantly more common in the control group. Anastomosis bursting pressure was significantly higher and angiogenesis was significantly more common in the PRF + stem cell group (P < 0.005). Based on histopathologic examination, vascular proliferation and inflammation were significantly more common in the PRF + stem cell group than in the control group (P < 0.005). CONCLUSION : In cases of risky gastrointestinal system anastomosis, PRF + stem cells might reduce the incidence of anastomotic healing. KEY WORDS: Anastomosis, Platelet-rich fibrin, Stem cell, Wound healing.

Platelet-derived growth factor receptor alpha (PDGFR-α) activity is crucial in the process of dental and periodontal mesenchyme regeneration facilitated by autologous platelet concentrates (APCs), such as platelet-rich fibrin (PRF), platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and concentrated growth factors (CGF), as well as by recombinant PDGF drugs. However, it is largely unclear about the physiological patterns and cellular fate determinations of PDGFR-α cells in the homeostasis maintaining of adult dental and periodontal mesenchyme. We previously identified NFATc1 expressing PDGFR-α cells as a subtype of skeletal stem cells (SSCs) in limb bone in mice, but their roles in dental and periodontal remain unexplored.

Incorporating autologous patient-derived products has become imperative to enhance the continually improving outcomes in bone tissue engineering. With this objective in mind, this study aimed to evaluate the osteogenic potential of 3D-printed allograft-alginate-gelatin scaffolds coated with stromal vascular fraction (SVF) and platelet-rich fibrin (PRF). The primary goal was to develop a tissue-engineered construct capable of facilitating efficient bone regeneration through the utilization of biomaterials with advantageous properties and patient-derived products.

Introduction: Chronic wounds present a significant challenge in clinical practice due to complications like infections and prolonged healing times. Conventional treatments often fall short, necessitating advancements in wound healing strategies. This article introduces a novel approach using a combination of adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) from fat and growth factors from platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) to enhance wound healing outcomes.

"Tissue engineering," is a concept that involves the use of scaffolds, cells, and growth factors/signaling molecules in the field of regenerative medicine. The present study was carried out to evaluate the attachment and depth of penetration of the Gingival Mesenchymal Stem Cells (GMSCs) onto the collagen scaffold preconditioned with Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS), Injectable Platelet Rich Fibrin (i-PRF) and a combination of FBS with i-PRF using histological analysis and environmental scanning electron microscopy (ESEM) respectively. In the present study, commercially available collagen membranes were used as scaffolds and divided into 3 groups where Group I was preconditioned with FBS, Group II was preconditioned with i-PRF, and Group III with a combination of FBS and i-PRF.

Aims And Objectives: The aim of this study is to examine the efficacy and safety of various regenerative medicine treatments, such as cell therapy, platelet-rich plasma (PRP), plasma-poor platelet (PPP), plasma-rich fibrin (PRF), mesenchymal stem cells, stromal vascular fraction (SVF), exosomes, adipose-derived stem cells (ADSC), and stem cell-conditioned media (SC-CM), for treating vitiligo.
Method: We conducted a thorough search of major databases such as PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science, and selected 48 articles based on specific criteria. We used EndNote X8 and Google Sheets to review and extract data from the articles.
