Platelet-Rich Plasma: Quantification of Growth Factor Levels and the Effect on Growth and Differentiation of Rat Bone Marrow Cells
In this study, rat bone marrow cells were cultured in PRP-coated wells or in uncoated wells for 16 days in osteogenic medium, and analyzed on cell growth (DNA content) and cell differentiation (alkaline phosphatase [ALP] activity, calcium content, scanning electron microscopy, and QPCR).
Gel Made From Patient’s Own Blood Aids Healing
A topical gel derived from a patient's own blood may help wounds heal more quickly and completely, according to a new preliminary study.
Platelet-Rich Plasma Basic Science Video
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is a portion of your blood that contains concentrated growth factors. These growth factors have been shown to enhance proliferation of a variety of cell types. Please view the video below to better understand the basic science of Platelet Rich Plasma.
Whole Blood Thrombin: Development of a Process for Intra-Operative Production of Human Thrombin
The goal of our research was to develop a rapid, reliable, and simple to perform process to generate autologous human thrombin in the intraoperative setting, from patient whole blood as the starting source material.
Autologous Platelet Gel in Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting: Effects on Surgical Wound Healing
The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of APG on surgical site infection, post-operative pain, blood loss, and bruising.
The Effect of Different Platelet-Rich Plasma Concentrations on Proliferation and Differentiation of Human Periodontal Ligament Cells In Vitro
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the biological effects of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) on human periodontal ligament cells (hPDLCs) in vitro.
Reviewing the Structural Features of Autologous Platelet-Leukocyte Gel and Suggestions for Use in Surgery
PLG can be useful in a wide range of clinical applications to enhance healing following surgical procedures, since exogenous applied PLG releases instantly platelet growth factors, in the presence of leukocytic cells.
Combined Use of Platelet-Rich Plasma and Bone Grafting With or Without Guided Tissue Regeneration in the Treatment of Anterior Interproximal Defects
The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the efficacy of PRP when used in combination with beta-tricalcium phosphate (beta-TCP) alloplastic graft material and collagen barrier membrane in the treatment of anterior interproximal intrabony defects.
Observation of an Injectable Tissue-Engineered Bone Constructed With Autologous Platelet-Rich Plasma and Bone Marrow Stromal Cells
To construct an injectable tissue-engineered bone graft with fibrin glue (FG), autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) cultured in vitro and study its biological characteristics and microscopic structures.
Platelet-Rich Plasma: Growth Factors and Pro- and Anti-Inflammatory Properties
The purpose of this study was to analyze the growth factors in PRP and to study the effects of PRP on monocyte cytokine release and lipoxin A(4) (LXA(4)) generation.
Symptomatic Dry Eye Treatment with Autologous Platelet-Rich Plasma
Autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has been proven to be very effective on tissue regeneration and wound healing. Here we investigate the potential use of PRP in the treatment of symptomatic dry eye.
Early Effect of Platelet-Rich Plasma on Bone Healing in Combination With an Osteoconductive Material in Rat Cranial Defects
We hypothesize that PRP exerts its beneficial effect on bone regeneration within the first and second week after application in a bone defect combined with an osteoconductive material.
