Effectiveness of Two Methods for Preparation of Autologous Platelet-Rich Plasma: An Experimental Study in Rabbits
The purpose of this study was to compare the quantity and quality of platelets in platelet-rich plasma (PRP) samples prepared using either the single or the double-centrifugation protocol.
Autologous Platelet-Gel: Fad or Savior? (EP Video)
Al Stammers discusses Platelet Gel and whether or not it is a fad or savior (31 minutes).
Platelet-Rich Plasma Releasate Promotes Differentiation of Tendon Stem Cells Into Active Tenocytes
The aim of this study was to determine the effects of PRP, in the form of PRP-clot releasate (PRCR), on tendon stem cells (TSCs), a newly discovered cell population in tendons.
Effects of a Platelet Gel on Early Graft Revascularization after Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction: A Prospective, Randomized, Double-Blind, Clinical Trial.

Chronic Wounds Treated With a Physiologically Relevant Concentration of Platelet-Rich Plasma Gel: A Prospective Case Series
The purpose of this prospective case series was to evaluate how a physiologically relevant concentration of an autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) gel affects initial wound healing trajectories of chronic, nonhealing wounds of various etiologies and in different care settings.
Autologous Platelet-Rich Plasma: Effect on Sternal Healing in the Sheep Model
We looked at the effects of plasma rich in growth factors (PRGF) as an agent on sternal bone healing. In 24 female sheep, a median sternotomy was surgically created.
The Effect of Subconjunctival Platelet-Rich Plasma on Corneal Epithelial Wound Healing
Single-dose subconjunctival platelet-rich plasma (sPRP) injections with or without antibiotic treatment were investigated for their effect on corneal epithelial wound healing in a rabbit model.
Experimental Study of Tendon Healing Early Phase: Is IGF-1 Expression Influenced by Platelet-Rich Plasma Gel
The aim of this study was to assess the effect of a single application of platelet rich plasma (PRP) gel in a patellar tendon defect on the spatial and temporal expression of Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 (IGF-1) during tendon healing.
The Effect of Platelet-Rich Plasma on the Neovascularization of Surgically Created Equine Superficial Digital Flexor Tendon Lesions
The repair process of tendon injuries, which are common in both human and equine athletes, is slow and the quality of the repair tissue is often inferior to the original tendon tissue, which frequently leads to re-injury.
