background: endometriosis is the presence of endometrial tissue outside of the uterine cavity and is the most common gynecologic disorder in women of reproductive age. we have preliminary evidence that in the presence of a 3-dimensional (3-d) fibrin matrix, human endometrial glands, stroma, and neovascularization can develop in vitro, mimicking the earliest stages of endometriosis. the aim of t...

introduction: the healing process after surgery is a challenging issue for surgeons. various materials and techniques have been developed to facilitate this process and reduce its period. fibrin adhesives are often used in cardiothoracic and vascular surgery to seal diffuse microvascular bleeding and in general and plastic surgery to seal wound borders. this case report and literature review wi...

spinal cord injury (sci) results in the damage of motor and sensory pathways. the molecular and cellular structure of the injury milieu has been shown to be vital for endogenous regeneration in most tissues. regeneration of injured central nervous system (cns) is limited by damaged cell environment. biomaterial scaffolds can reconstruct injured cns tissue following sci by promoting the migratio...

Background This research was conducted to assess preantral follicle development in fibrin alginate matrix following ovarian tissue vitrification MaterialsAndMethods Ovaries of 13-day-old NMRI female mice were removed and placed in control and vitrification groups. Vitrification group ovaries were transferred in media containing ethylene glycol, dimethyl sulphoxide, and sucrose then were plunged...

Background: In recent years, transplantation of cryopreserved ovarian tissue has proved to be a promising approach to restore fertility in cancer patients. However, such a procedure cannot be carried out in women at risk of ovarian involvement due to the threat of reintroducing malignant cells. The aim of this study was therefore to create an artificial ovary as an alternative to restore fertil...

A provisional matrix consisting of fibrin and fibronectin (FN) is deposited at sites of tissue damage and repair. This matrix serves as a scaffold for fibroblast migration into the wound where these cells deposit new matrix to replace lost or damaged tissue and eventually contract the matrix to bring the margins of the wound together. Tenascin-C is expressed transiently during wound repair in t...

Plasma fibronectin (pFN) cross-linked to fibrin during the injury response provides a provisional matrix required for cells to begin tissue repair. Using a synthetic matrix of pFN and fibrin as a substrate for cell adhesion and spreading, we have determined that pFN covalently cross-linked to fibrin into a complex multimer is functionally distinct from pFN immobilized onto a plastic surface. NI...
