Biodegradation of xenobiotics- a way for environmental detoxification

Man-made compounds, also known as xenobiotics, are often refractory to degradation. The main reason is that they cannot be recognized by naturally present organisms and therefore do not enter common metabolic pathways. The physical and chemical characteristics of the compounds, as well as environmental factors, may influence their biodegradability. The main degraders in nature are microorganisms, mostly bacteria and some fungi. These organisms, due to their rapid rates of multiplication and great metabolic potential, are able to adapt to new substrates.

Platelet-rich fibrin in maxillofacial surgery- review of literature

PRF technique was developed by Choukroun et al in 2001. Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF) is autologous biomaterial which is the second-generation platelet concentrate. PRF has a favourable biological property that accelerate healing of soft tissue, and bone, giving a wide range of applications found in oral and maxillofacial surgery and other surgical fields. It is used to accelerate the healing of soft and hard tissue. In contrast to the PRP, the PRF is composed of autologous fibrin matrix in which a large amount of platelets and their growth factors are embedded.
