Abstract:Blood
plasma-based products have been recently utilized in different
tissue engineering applications, ranging from soft tissue repair to
bone regeneration. Plasma contains fibrinogen which can be converted
to an insoluble fibrin-laden gel in the presence of activated thrombin.
In tissue engineering, these plasma-based materials can serve either
as a three-dimensional scaffold to deliver therapeutic cells in vivo
or as a growth factor-rich supply for tissue regeneration. Unfortunately,
plasma-based materials ar… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
