Platelet-rich fibrin: Basics of biological actions and protocol modifications

Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) shows promise for tissue regeneration due to its autologous nature, ease of preparation, cost-effectiveness, and prolonged growth factor release. Various PRF preparation protocols exist, impacting growth factor concentrations and other biomolecules, which ultimately affects wound healing, and further research is needed to standardize these protocols and explore the full therapeutic potential of PRF in different clinical applications.

Recent advances in periodontal regeneration: A biomaterial perspective

The review discusses recent progress in periodontal regeneration using biomaterials, focusing on bio-inspired scaffolding materials and controlled drug delivery. It highlights the challenges in reconstructing the complex periodontal structure and controlling mineralization homeostasis, while emphasizing the need for further research to improve the long-term stability of regenerated periodontal tissues.

Evidence for contamination as the origin for bacteria found in human placenta rather than a microbiota

The study found no substantial evidence for a resident placental microbiome in term births. Bacterial presence in the placenta was linked to contamination during delivery, especially in vaginal births, while chorionic villi showed lower bacterial presence than other sampled areas. This challenges previous findings suggesting a consistent placental microbial community.
