Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) is a type of platelet concentrate derived from blood without the need for anticoagulants. It contains essential growth factors that enhance tissue regeneration.1 Platelets in PRF store growth factors that trigger collagen synthesis, cell division, differentiation, and cell migration to the treated area.2 In this study, we investigated the structural changes of PRF depending on its combination with hydrogel carrier containing fucoidan (FU) and chitosan (CS). This allow us to understand the importance of PRF incorporation to slow down its degradation, thus providing a longer-lasting delivery of bioactive molecules.
