Does Adding Silver Nanoparticles to Leukocyte- and Platelet-Rich Fibrin Improve Its Properties?

Figure 1

Microscopic sections show silver nanoparticles all over the membrane ((a), 100X); in outer layers they were more densely seated in the fibrin meshwork ((b), 200X) compared with the inner layers. Precipitation of the AgNPs was patchy in outer layers and quite homogeneous in inner layers ((c), 400X). Leukocytes were also denser in outer layers than inner layers (H&E staining).
