ABSTRACT

@#The plasma matrix is a kind of autologous blood conduct. It has been widely used in maxillofacial tissue regeneration, skin cosmetology and some other fields. Recently, to preserve the dental pulp as well as the teeth, pulp regeneration therapy and apical surgery have become increasingly important as well as the applications of bioactive materials. As a kind of autologous bioactive material, the plasma matrix has some natural advantages as it is easy to obtain and malleable. The plasma matrix can be used in the following cases: ①pulp revascularization of young permanent teeth with open apical foramina that cannot stimulate apical bleeding; ② apical barrier surgery with bone defects and large area perforation repair with bone defects or root sidewall repair surgery; ③ apical surgeries of teeth with large area of apical lesions, with or without periodontal diseases. The plasma matrix is a product derived from our blood, and there are no obvious contraindications for its use. Several systematic reviews have shown that the plasma matrix can effectively promote the regenerative repair of dental pulp in patients with periapical diseases. However, the applications of plasma matrix are different because its characteristics are affected by different preparation methods. In addition, there is still a lack of long-term clinical researches on the plasma matrix, and the histological evidences are difficult to obtain, so a large number of in vitro and in vivo experimental studies are still needed. This article will describe the applications of different kinds of plasma matrix for dental pulp regeneration and bone tissue regeneration in apical surgeries to provide references for clinicians in indication selection and prognosis evaluation.

ABSTRACT

【Objective】 To explore the feasibility of using autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in the treatment of deep second-degree burns complicated with wound infection. 【Methods】 A retrospective analysis was conducted on the treatment process of a patient with deep second-degree burns and bacterial infection on the wound using autologous PRP. Clinical treatment highlights and outpatient follow-up were combined to discuss the feasibility and clinical effects of using autologous PRP in the treatment of burn wounds complicated with infection. 【Results】 The patient had a deep second-degree burn with a coagulase-negative Staphylococcus infection on the left lower limb. After one week of conventional wound dressing and antibiotic treatment, the patient's body temperature returned to normal. However, wound healing was slow and yellow secretion persisted. Subsequently, the burn wound was treated combined with topical autologous PRP. The wound pain score gradually decreased from 8 to 1. After 2 weeks, the bacterial culture of the wound secretion was negative, and the wound healed completely after 18 days. The wound scar score decreased from 5 to 2 at 1, 3 and 6 months after PRP treatment, and no obvious scar formation was observed. In the course of PRP treatment, there were no adverse reactions such as increased wound inflammation, abnormal blood routine and liver and kidney function test results. 【Conclusion】 For deep second-degree burn patients with localized wound bacterial infections who either refuse surgery or are not suitable for surgery, autologous PRP is a safer alternative that can effectively promote tissue regeneration and wound healing. The patient in this case achieved a curative effect in a short period of time.

ABSTRACT

【Objective】 To prepare microneedles(MNs) loaded with platelet-rich plasma lysate (PL) using Carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS), and explore the prospect of PL MNs in the treatment of diabetic wounds. 【Methods】 CMCS was used as the basic material, and an appropriate amount of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVPK-60) was added to prepare needle materials of different concentrations, and the optimal concentration was determined by investigating the needle formation rate, morphological characteristics and mechanical properties, and the growth factor activity in PL MNs was investigated. The diabetic mice were randomly divided into four groups after the back wound was made, the control group did not do any treatment, the PL smear group was treated with PL smearing, the blank MNs group was treated with MNs without PL, and the PL MNs group was treated with PL microneedles. The effect of PL MNs in wound healing in diabetic mice was evaluated through body observation, H&E staining and immunohistochemistry results. 【Results】 When PVPK60 was 40 mg/mL, the needle formation rate was 100%, the array was complete, the needle body was full, and the needle was sharp. According to the results of mechanical-displacement curve and weight pressure change experiment, the prepared PL MNs have good mechanical strength. The results of growth factor analysis indicated that the content of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in PL was (625±35) pg/mL, and the content of platelet-derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB) was (18 741±1 287) pg/mL. After making the MNs, the VEGF content was (183±2) pg/mL, and the PDGF-BB content was (8049±1157) pg/mL. Although the concentration of growth factors decreased, growth factor activity was still preserved.The results of wound healing experiments in diabetic mice showed that the PL MNs group had better healing, and the wound healing rate was different from that of three groups (P<0.01). The results of H&E staining showed that the PL MNs group had fewer inflammatory cell infiltrates and bleeding spots. The number of fibroblasts and new microvascular in the control group was worse than that in the PL MNs group and the PL smear group. The results of immunohistochemistry indicated that the expression of pro-inflammatory factor IL-6 decreased, while anti-inflammatory factor TGF-β and angiogenesis index CD31 increased in the PL MNs group, which were significantly different from those in the other three groups (P<0.01). 【Conclusion】 The PL MNs prepared in this experiment have good mechanical properties, which has a positive effect on the wound healing of diabetic mice, and provides a new idea for diabetic wound healing.

ABSTRACT

【Objective】 To evaluate the clinical efficacy of utilizing auxiliary steel plates in conjunction with autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy for the treatment of bone non-union following intramedullary fixation of long shaft fractures in the limbs. 【Methods】 From January 2020 to September 2022, 33 patients with non union after intramedullary fixation of long shaft fractures of the limbs admitted to the orthopedic trauma ward of the 960th Hospital of the PLA Jonit Logistics Support Force were selected as the research subjects, including 28 males and 5 females.The age range was 22 to 55 years, with an average of (37.2±6.7) years. The patients were divided into the experimental group (n=15) and the control group (n=18) in order of admission. All patients retained intramedullary fixation, and the fracture end was fixed with reconstruction steel plates. According to the random number table method, 15 cases in the experimental group were treated with autologous iliac bone transplantation combined with intraoperative and postoperative autologous PRP. The activated autologous PRP was fully fused with the patient′s autologous iliac bone during surgery and transplanted to the bone defect site.Ultrasound guidance was used to accurately locate the location. Autologous PRP was injected 10 mL/(person) occasion on the 14 th and 28 th day after surgery respectively. Eighteen cases in the control group received the treatment of autologous iliac bone transplantation at the bone defect site only. The clinical healing status of fractures between the two groups of patients were observed and compared. 【Results】 All 33 patients were followed up for a complete period of 9 to 30 months, with an average of (11.8±2.7) months. Compared with the control group, the clinical fracture healing time (months) was 5.25±1.18 vs 7.27±1.38 (P<0.05); The healing rate was 93.3%(14/15)vs 61.1%(11/18) (P<0.05). 【Conclusion】 The combination of intraoperative and postoperative use of autologous PRP and auxiliary steel plates could promote the healing of bone non union after intramedullary fixation of long shaft fractures in the limbs, which is beneficial for early functional exercise of patients.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND:At present,it is found that both Chinese medicine for activating blood circulation and removing blood stasis and platelet-rich plasma technology can repair damaged blood vessels,promote vascular regeneration,rebuild blood supply in the femoral head,restore normal blood supply,and further promote osteogenesis.Both of them have certain advantages in early intervention of steroid-induced necrosis of femoral head.It can also further understand the mechanism of blood activating and stasis removing herbs and platelet-rich plasma technology in improving steroid-induced necrosis of the femoral head,and provide new ideas for future treatment. OBJECTIVE:To review the research progress of the mechanism of the combination of blood activating and blood stasis removing herbs and platelet-rich plasma technology on steroid-induced necrosis of the femoral head according to the related literature at home and abroad. METHODS:PubMed,Web of Science,Metstr,CNKI and WanFang databases were searched for relevant articles."Traditional Chinese medicine,signal pathways,steroid induced necrosis of femoral head,vascular endothelial growth factor,platelet rich plasma"were used as the Chinese and English search terms separately.The time limit for searching the literature was from January 2000 to July 2022,and 75 related articles were finally included. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Both Chinese medicine for activating blood circulation and removing blood stasis and platelet-rich plasma technology have certain advantages in intervening the early stage of steroid-induced necrosis of femoral head.For traditional Chinese medicine,both single and compound drugs can effectively alleviate the further development of steroid-induced necrosis of the femoral head.The specific mechanism is as follows:(1)The traditional Chinese medicine for activating blood circulation and removing blood stasis has a significant anticoagulation effect,which can antagonize the abnormal(hypercoagulable)state of blood caused by hormone drugs,and further restore the normal blood supply in the femoral head.(2)Traditional Chinese medicine for activating blood circulation and removing blood stasis can repair damaged vascular endothelium,regenerate blood vessels and remodel blood supply in the femoral head by activating vascular endothelial growth factor.(3)The traditional Chinese medicine of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis has the obvious effect of removing blood stasis,which can reduce the accumulation of fat cells in the bone marrow cavity and relieve the pressure in the femoral head.(4)Traditional Chinese medicine for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis can regulate relevant signal pathways,maintain bone metabolism,promote the differentiation and balance of osteoblasts and osteoclasts,and effectively reduce steroid-induced necrosis of the femoral head.In addition,platelet-rich plasma contains a large amount of high concentration of cell growth factor,which plays a positive role in osteogenesis and vascular regeneration,and can also improve the abnormal state of the blood.Traditional Chinese medicine for activating blood circulation and removing blood stasis combined with platelet-rich plasma technology can play their biological roles,and the intervention effect is more significant.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND:Diabetic wounds have complicated conditions such as infection,ischemia,peripheral neuropathy,and vascular disease.Ordinary hydrogel dressings with single structure and function cannot meet the needs of diabetic wound healing. OBJECTIVE:To explore the effect of a hydrogel loaded with platelet-rich plasma on wound healing of full-thickness skin defects in diabetic rats. METHODS:The blood of SD rats was extracted to prepare platelet-rich plasma.Carboxymethyl chitosan/oxychondroitin sulfate hydrogel and carboxymethyl chitosan/oxychondroitin sulfate hydrogel loaded with platelet-rich plasma were prepared separately.Streptozotocin was used to induce diabetes model in adult male SD rats.A round full-thickness skin wound with a diameter of 2 cm was made on the back of diabetic rats.The rats were randomly divided into four groups(n=10 per group).The blank group was applied with gauze on the wound.The hydrogel group,platelet-rich plasma group,and composite hydrogel group were respectively applied with the corresponding hydrogel,platelet-rich plasma and hydrogel loaded with platelet-rich plasma.The wound healing was observed within 20 days after treatment. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)On day 20 after treatment,the wound healing rate of the hydrogel group,platelet-rich plasma group and composite hydrogel group was significantly higher than that of the blank group(P<0.05).The wound healing rate of the composite hydrogel group was significantly higher than that of the platelet-rich plasma group(P<0.05).(2)The results of hematoxylin-eosin staining on day 5 after treatment showed that compared with the blank group,hydrogel group and platelet-rich plasma group,there were a large number of inflammatory cell infiltration,new granulation tissue and capillary formation in the wound tissue of the composite hydrogel group.(3)On day 5 after treatment,the results of immunohistochemical staining and western blot assay showed that the expression levels of tumor necrosis factor α and interleukin 1β in wound tissue in the composite hydrogel group were significantly lower than those in the blank group,hydrogel group and platelet-rich plasma group(P<0.05).(4)Masson staining results on day 15 after treatment showed that compared with the blank group,hydrogel group and platelet-rich plasma group,there were more collagen fibers in the wound tissue of the composite hydrogel group,which were orderly,evenly distributed and dense.(5)CD31 immunofluorescence staining showed that on day 15 after treatment,the expression of CD31 in wound tissue of the composite hydrogel group was significantly higher than that of the blank group,hydrogel group and platelet-rich plasma group(P<0.05).(6)These results suggest that the hydrogel loaded with platelet-rich plasma can promote the healing of full-thickness skin defect wounds in diabetic rats by promoting granulation tissue,collagen fiber and angiogenesis,and reducing the inflammatory response.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND:In cartilage degeneration in osteoarthritis,cytokines and signaling pathways that target chondrocytes play an important role. OBJECTIVE:To review the latest research progress of osteoarthritis related cytokines and signaling pathways in recent years,such as the mechanism of action and treatment modalities,in order to provide a basis for future exploration of new therapeutic targets and modalities. METHODS:Literature search was conducted on CNKI,WanFang,VIP,PubMed,Web of Science,and Medline databases.Chinese search terms were"osteoarthritis,cytokines,signal pathway,chondrocyte,inflammation,treatment".Finally,60 papers were included for review. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)In current studies,it is believed that the specific mechanism of osteoarthritis is not clear,and a large number of studies have shown that osteoarthritis is strongly associated with cytokines and signaling pathways,which is a complex process of action.Relevant studies taking cytokines and signaling pathways as therapeutic breakthroughs are also the current hot spot.(2)The receptor antagonists of pro-inflammatory factors such as interleukin 1 are not effective in the treatment of osteoarthritis,and more studies turn to gene therapy.(3)The therapeutic methods of transforming growth factor β,recombinant factors of Wnt signaling pathway,gene therapy and mesenchymal stem cells have obtained positive research results.However,basic and clinical studies on safety and efficacy are likely to be conducted in future studies.(4)At present,relevant therapeutic methods such as platelet-rich plasma have been widely used in clinical practice,while recombinant factor,gene therapy and mesenchymal stem cell therapy are all in the research stage,among which mesenchymal stem cell therapy and gene therapy are expected to make breakthroughs in the field of cartilage repair and regeneration,and are worthy of expectation in the future.However,more clinical and basic studies are needed to verify its effectiveness and safety,explore its mechanism of action and scope of application,and set standards for its clinical use.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND:Platelet-rich plasma has been shown to enhance the viability and the pro-angiogenesis capacity of mesenchymal stem cells.Extracellular vesicles are one of the key mediators for mesenchymal stem cells to exert their effects,but currently,it is unclear whether platelet-rich plasma affects the functions of extracellular vesicles. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effects of platelet-rich plasma on the function of extracellular vesicles from bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells,verify whether platelet-rich plasma can be used as an adjuvant to enhance the healing effects of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells on repairing the peripheral nerve injury. METHODS:For in vitro study,bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells were cultured under normal conditions and with 1%platelet-rich plasma.The ultracentrifugation was used to extract the extracellular vesicles produced by bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells cultured under normal conditions(EVs-nor)or the condition supplemented with 1%platelet-rich plasma(EVs-prp).Extracellular vesicles were used to incubate with Schwann cells.The EdU assay,western blot assay,qPCR and light microscopy photography were performed to examine the effects of EVs-nor and EVs-prp on Schwann cell reprogramming,which was characterized by cell proliferation,c-Jun expression,reprogramming-associated gene expression and cell morphology.For in vivo study,the model of sciatic nerve injury in rats was established.Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells were grafted with or without 1%platelet-rich plasma into the injured rat sciatic nerve using a chitin nerve conduit.Eight weeks after the surgery,the recovery was assessed by histological and functional indexes,including regenerated nerve fiber density,gastrocnemius wet weight ratio and sciatic function index. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Compared with EVs-nor,EVs-prp was stronger in promoting Schwann cell proliferation.The gene expressions of c-Jun and GDNF were significantly upregulated in EVs-prp treated Schwann cells.The morphology of Schwann cells was significantly longer in EVs-prp group than that in EVs-nor group,indicating that EVs-prp had a stronger ability to stimulate Schwann cell reprogramming than EVs-nor.(2)Sciatic nerve injury animal experiment results revealed that grafting mesenchymal stem cells along with platelet-rich plasma into the injured sciatic nerve showed the best recovery compared with grafting mesenchymal stem cells or platelet-rich plasma alone,demonstrated by the significantly improved density of nerve fibers,gastrocnemius wet weight ratio,and sciatic function index.(3)These results suggested that platelet-rich plasma improved the function of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles and could be served as a practical and feasible preparation to synergize with bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells to improve peripheral nerve repair.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND:Due to the sudden release and the rapid removal by proteases,platelet-rich plasma hydrogel leads to shorter residence times of growth factors at the wound site.In recent years,researchers have focused on the use of hydrogels to encapsulate platelet-rich plasma in order to improve the deficiency of platelet-rich plasma hydrogels. OBJECTIVE:To prepare self-assembled polypeptide-platelet-rich plasma hydrogel and to explore its effects on the release of bioactive factors of platelet-rich plasma. METHODS:The self-assembled polypeptide was synthesized by the solid-phase synthesis method,and the solution was prepared by D-PBS.Hydrogels were prepared by mixing different volumes of polypeptide solutions with platelet-rich plasma and calcium chloride/thrombin solutions,so that the final mass fraction of polypeptides in the system was 0.1%,0.3%,and 0.5%,respectively.The hydrogel state was observed,and the release of growth factors in platelet-rich plasma was detected in vitro.The polypeptide self-assembly was stimulated by mixing 1%polypeptide solution with 1%human serum albumin solution,so that the final mass fraction of the polypeptide was 0.1%,0.3%,and 0.5%,respectively.The flow state of the liquid was observed,and the rheological mechanical properties of the self-assembled polypeptide were tested.The microstructure of polypeptide(mass fraction of 0.1%and 0.001%)-human serum albumin solution was observed by scanning electron microscope and transmission electron microscope. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Hydrogels could be formed between different volumes of polypeptide solution and platelet-rich plasma.Compared with platelet-rich plasma hydrogels,0.1%and 0.3%polypeptide-platelet-rich plasma hydrogels could alleviate the sudden release of epidermal growth factor and vascular endothelial growth factor,and extend the release time to 48 hours.(2)After the addition of human serum albumin,the 0.1%polypeptide group still exhibited a flowing liquid,the 0.3%polypeptide group was semi-liquid,and the 0.5%polypeptide group stimulated self-assembly to form hydrogel.It was determined that human serum albumin in platelet-rich plasma could stimulate the self-assembly of polypeptides.With the increase of the mass fraction of the polypeptide,the higher the storage modulus of the self-assembled polypeptide,the easier it was to form glue.(3)Transmission electron microscopy exhibited that the polypeptide nanofibers were short and disordered before the addition of human serum albumin.After the addition of human serum albumin,the polypeptide nanofibers became significantly longer and cross-linked into bundles,forming a dense fiber network structure.Under a scanning electron microscope,the polypeptides displayed a disordered lamellar structure before adding human serum albumin.After the addition of human serum albumin,the polypeptides self-assembled into cross-linked and densely arranged porous structures.(4)In conclusion,the novel polypeptide can self-assemble triggered by platelet-rich plasma and the self-assembly effect can be accurately adjusted according to the ratio of human serum albumin to polypeptide.This polypeptide has a sustained release effect on the growth factors of platelet-rich plasma,which can be used as a new biomaterial for tissue repair.

BACKGROUND:Platelet-rich plasma can promote the repair and regeneration of intervertebral disc tissue.Percutaneous transforaminal endoscopic discectomy is widely used in the treatment of lumbar disc herniation.In recent years,more and more scholars have focused on the combined treatment of lumbar disc herniation with the two techniques in order to achieve a better patient prognosis. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the clinical safety and effectiveness of percutaneous transforaminal endoscopic discectomy combined with platelet-rich plasma in the treatment of lumbar disc herniation. METHODS:The clinical data of 58 patients with lumbar disc herniation who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria at Sixth Medical Center of PLA General Hospital from June 2017 to May 2018 were retrospectively analyzed.Among them,29 patients underwent percutaneous transforaminal endoscopic discectomy combined with platelet-rich plasma(observation group),and the remaining 29 patients underwent percutaneous transforaminal endoscopic discectomy only(control group).Visual Analogue Scale score for back and leg pain,lumbar JOA score,and Oswestry Disability Index were evaluated preoperatively,at 3,6,and 12 months postoperatively,and at the last follow-up.Intervertebral space height,nucleus pulposus to cerebrospinal fluid signal strength ratio,and intervertebral disc Pfirrmann grading were measured preoperatively,at 6 and 12 months postoperatively,and at the last follow-up.The modified MacNab criteria were used to assess excellent and good rate of curative effect at the last follow-up. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)The Visual Analogue Scale score for back and leg pain,JOA score,and Oswestry Disability Index of the two groups postoperatively were significantly improved compared with those preoperatively(P<0.05).Visual Analogue Scale score and Oswestry Disability Index were lower in the observation group than those in the control group at 3 and 6 months postoperatively(P<0.05).The JOA score was higher in the observation group than that in the control group at 3 and 6 months postoperatively(P<0.05).(2)The nucleus pulposus to cerebrospinal fluid signal strength ratio was higher in the observation group than that in the control group at the last follow-up(P<0.05).Pfirrmann grading of the intervertebral discs was better in the observation group than that in the control group(P<0.05).The excellent and good rate was 93%in the observation group and 83%in the control group,and the difference was not statistically significant(P>0.05).(3)These findings indicate that percutaneous transforaminal endoscopic discectomy combined with platelet-rich plasma in the treatment of lumbar disc herniation has satisfactory clinical efficacy and can delay the degeneration of the intervertebral disc to a certain extent.

ABSTRACT

Resumen Objetivo: Describir la evolución que presentaron los pacientes con la aplicación de injerto graso autólogo con plasma rico en plaquetas (IGAPRP) en defectos de espesor completo (DET). Método: Durante el periodo del 15 de abril al 30 de septiembre de 2021 se analizaron los DET de pacientes que recibieron IGAPRP. Resultados: Se realizaron de 3 a 4 procedimientos de aplicación de IGAPRP para su integración con un tiempo promedio de estancia hospitalaria de 19.6±0.5 días. El tamaño de la lesión fue de 17.5 a 280 cm2 (95.1±81.6 cm2, profundidad de 1.1±1.1 cm). Volumen de grasa injertada en los DET fue de 14.7±7.9 ml. No se identificaron casos con infección. La comparación de la dimensión de los defectos a través de los procedimientos reveló una diferencia de 95.13 cm2 con hallazgos estadísticamente significativos (p<0.001). Limitaciones del estudio: La población de estudio limitada a solo 6 pacientes no nos permite sacar conclusiones significativas con respecto al efecto del tratamiento. A pesar hubo diferencias significativas en el volumen y área de los DET. Se requiere un estudio multicéntrico para evaluar completamente la eficacia de estos tratamientos en pacientes con DET. Valor: El uso de IGAPRP podría disminuir secuelas y complicaciones del uso de colgajos para la reconstrucción de DET. Conclusiones: La aplicación de IGAPRP demostró ser una opción eficaz y segura para la granulación de DET en nuestros pacientes para su posterior cobertura con un injerto cutáneo de espesor parcial.


Abstract: Objective: To describe the evolution of patients with the application of autologous fat grafting with platelet-rich plasma (IGAPRP) in full-thickness defects (TED). Method: During the period from April 15, 2021 to September 30, 2021, the TEDs of patients who received IGAPRP were analyzed. Results: 3 to 4 IGAPRP application procedures were performed for its integration with an average hospital stay of 19.6±0.5 days. Lesion size ranged from 17.5 to 280 cm2 (95.1±81.6 cm2, Depth 1.1±1.1 cm). Volume of grafted fat in the TEDs was 14.7±7.9 ml. No cases of infection were identified. The comparison of the dimensions of the defects through the procedures revealed a difference of 95.13 cm2 with statistically significant findings (p<0.001). Study limitations: The study population limited to only 6 patients does not allow us to draw significant conclusions regarding the effect of treatment. Despite there were significant differences in the volume and area of ??the TEDs. A multicenter study is required to fully evaluate the efficacy of these treatments in patients with TED. Value: The use of IGAPRP could reduce sequelae and complications of the use of flaps for TED reconstruction. Conclusions: The application of IGAPRP proved to be an effective and safe option for TED granulation in our patients for subsequent coverage with a split-thickness skin graft.

ABSTRACT

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a promising treatment in regenerative medicine for androgenetic alopecia (AGA). PRP, derived from the patient's blood, contains a concentrated platelet fraction rich in growth factors and bioactive molecules that aid in tissue repair and wound healing. When PRP is administered, these factors are released, stimulating hair growth and regeneration. PRP's mechanism of action involves the release of growth factors like PDGF, TGF-β, VEGF, and IGF, which promote cell proliferation, activate dormant hair follicles, and induce hair cycle growth. PRP also reduces inammation, promotes angiogenesis, and may inhibit 5-alpha reductase activity, which contributes to AGA. By understanding these mechanisms, PRP can be optimized for effective hair restoration therapies in AGA
