“…The contact activation (intrinsic) and tissue factor (extrinsic) clotting system soluble coagulation factors, as well as fibrinogen, were preserved by freezing. 23 Fresh plasma samples can be divided into three types depending on the number of platelets. These include platelet-rich plasma (PRP), platelet-free plasma (PFP), and platelet-poor plasma (PPP), the latter two of which are described as having low platelet concentrations in the literature.…”

Fibrin is a promising natural polymer that is widely used for diverse applications, such as hemostatic glue, carrier for drug and cell delivery, and matrix for tissue engineering. Despite the significant advances in the use of fibrin for bioengineering and biomedical applications, some of its characteristics must be improved for suitability for general use. For example, fibrin hydrogels tend to shrink and degrade quickly after polymerization, particularly when they contain embedded cells. In addition, their poor mechanical properties and batch-to-batch variability affect their handling, long-term stability, standardization, and reliability. One of the most widely used approaches to improve their properties has been modification of the structure and composition of fibrin hydrogels. In this review, recent advances in composite fibrin scaffolds, chemically modified fibrin hydrogels, interpenetrated polymer network (IPN) hydrogels composed of fibrin and other synthetic or natural polymers are critically reviewed, focusing on their use for tissue engineering.
