Abstract

Bioengineering is an area of biotechnology that offers tools for different therapeutic strategies, including tissue therapies. For this, cells are associated with growth factors and scaffolds composed of biocompatible biomaterials capable of promoting the regeneration of tissues, such as bones. Autologous biomaterials produced from human peripheral blood have a proven ability to produce/release activating factors for tissue repair, with potential application as a vehicle for carrying substances for local release. The present idea proposes the use of a new blood-derived concentrate, Alb-PRF, an activated plasma albumin gel with the platelet-rich fibrin in the liquid phase (Liquid PRF). Alb-PRF can be able to stabilize the fibrin matrix of the scaffold, acting as a drug delivery system vehicle in malignant lesions.
