Allogenic platelet rich plasma

Blood-derived preparations, including autologous or allogenic serum, umbilical cord serum/plasma, and platelet-rich plasma eye drops, contain various growth factors, cytokines, and immunoglobulins that resemble natural tears. These components play important roles in corneal cell migration, proliferation, and wound healing. Blood-derived eye drops have demonstrated clinical effectiveness across a spectrum of ocular surface conditions, encompassing dry eye disease, Sjögren's syndrome, graft-versus-host disease, and neuropathic corneal pain (NCP)...

The treatment of painful KOA in adult patients with ITP has not been well studied yet. We conducted a prospective, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial to evaluate the efficacy of intra-articular allogeneic PRP injections on symptoms and joint structure in patients with KOA and ITP. 80 participants were randomly allocated in a 1:1 ratio to allogeneic PRP group or saline group. The primary outcome was the WOMAC total score at 12 months post-injection. The number of patients in each group who achieved MCID of primary outcome showed a statistically significant difference only at 3-month (27/39 vs...

Specific clinical diagnostic criteria have established a consensus for defining patients with lumbar discogenic pain. However, if conservative medical management fails, these patients have few treatment options short of surgery involving discectomy often coupled with fusion or arthroplasty. There is a rapidly-emerging research effort to fill this treatment gap with intradiscal therapies that can be delivered minimally-invasively via fluoroscopically guided injection without altering the normal anatomy of the affected vertebral motion segment...

Rotator cuff injuries are a major cause of shoulder pain, affecting the quality of life and producing a significant burden on healthcare systems. Conservative management modalities are prioritized, resorting to surgery only when required. The field of regenerative medicine involving the use of biologics, such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP), has evolved and shown potential for managing rotator cuff injuries. Nonetheless, limitations including subpar outcomes have led clinicians to question the efficacy of autologous PRP...

Increasing evidence has revealed the emerging role of ferroptosis in the pathophysiology of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and its complications. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has been demonstrated to facilitate the healing of T2DM ulcers. However, the mechanism by which PRP repairs T2DM ulcers remains unclear. Here, we sought to investigate the interaction between PRP and ferroptosis in repairing T2DM ulcers. The results showed that the cellular activity, proliferation, and migration of fibroblasts were down-regulated, and the cellular activity and normal function of vascular endothelial cells were impaired in the high glucose environment or under RSL3 conditions (a GSH peroxidase 4 inhibitor and ferroptosis inducer)...

The umbilical cord blood (UCB) donated in public UCB banks is a source of hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) alternative to bone marrow for allogeneic HSC transplantation (HSCT). However, the high rejection rate of the donated units due to the strict acceptance criteria and the wide application of the haploidentical HSCT have resulted in significant limitation of the use of UCB and difficulties in the economic sustainability of the public UCB banks. There is an ongoing effort within the UCB community to optimize the use of UCB in the field of HSCT and a parallel interest in exploring the use of UCB for applications beyond HSCT i...

The use and demand of platelet-based bioproducts in regenerative medicine is steadily increasing. However, it is very difficult to establish the real clinical benefits of these therapies, as the lack of characterization and detailed production methods of platelet-based bioproducts persists in the literature and precludes cross-study comparisons. We characterized the molecular composition and in vitro regenerative capacity of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) produced in a closed-system. Furthermore, we performed a parallel characterization on different PRP subfractions (plasma and plasma-free platelet lysate), identifying that the fractions containing platelet-derived cargo exert the most potent regenerative capacity...

As an abundant supplier of growth factors, chemokines and other bioactive molecules, platelet rich plasma (PRP) become a leading therapy for tissue regeneration. The PRP therapy is an inexpensive and feasible source of growth factor compared to commercial products however, the better source of platelets is the major challenge. Many researchers are skeptical about cord blood as an alternative source for the allogenic preparation of PRP. In the present study, we have compared adult peripheral and cord blood PRP for their regenerative capacity and immuno-modulatory nature...

INTRODUCTION: Dental pulp regeneration is challenging in endodontics. Cellular therapy is an alternative approach to induce dental pulp regeneration. Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) have the capacity to induce dental pulp-like tissue formation. In this study, we evaluate the capacity of allogeneic bone marrow MSCs (BM-MSCs) to regenerate pulp following necrosis and apical periodontitis in children's permanent immature apex teeth. METHODS: Patients aged 8-12 years with pulp necrosis and apical periodontitis were evaluated...

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of allogeneic nanofat combined with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) for treatment of pressure injury wounds in rats. METHODS: Forty SD rat models with pressure injury wounds were randomly divided into 4 groups ( n =10) for treatment with nanofat, PRP (platelet count about 6.2 times that of normal whole blood), nanofat combined with PRP, or PBS only (control group).Wound healing was observed on days 1, 3, 5, 7, 10 and 14 and wound healing rate was calculated...

Adhesive capsulitis (AC) is a common shoulder disorder leading to pain and restricted range of motion (ROM) and affects the patient's activities of daily living (ADL) and overall quality of life (QoL). Conservative therapies are prioritized, resorting to surgical intervention only when necessary. Unfortunately, these modalities have limitations and do not address the underlying pathological cause of AC. The use of autologous biologics, such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP), has evolved and shown promise for managing musculoskeletal (MSK) injuries, including AC...

BACKGROUND: Both acute normovolumic hemodilution (ANH) and autologous platelet-rich plasma (aPRP) have been demonstrated blood-protective effects in cardiac aortic surgery; however, the efficacies of the two methods have not been compared. This study aims to compare the effects of aPRP and ANH prior to aortic surgery on postoperative bleed and other outcomes. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: This is a prospective, single-center, double-blind controlled clinical trial including 160 patients randomized 1:1 to receive aPRP (test group) or autologous whole blood (ANH, control group)...

It is apparent that whilst many reports are available regarding Platelet-Rich-Plasma (PRP), the larger majority of these have been mainly focused on autologous sources, and for good reason. Issues relating to allogenic source have been consciously avoided owing to concerns of cross infectivity and immune rejection. However, this topic today is now revisited and is of interest since progress over the year have demonstrated its safety, efficacy and its abundance of supply. The present systematic review was thus conducted to elucidate advances made in this area, with the aim to provide a wider and deeper understanding of studies relevant to the application of allogenic PRP in cartilage repair...

Orthoregeneration is defined as a solution for orthopaedic conditions that harnesses the benefits of biology to improve healing, reduce pain, improve function, and, optimally, provide an environment for tissue regeneration. Options include drugs, surgical intervention, scaffolds, biologics as a product of cells, and physical and electromagnetic stimuli. The goal of regenerative medicine is to enhance the healing of tissue after musculoskeletal injuries as both isolated treatment and adjunct to surgical management, using novel therapies to improve recovery and outcomes...

OBJECTIVE: The aim of the present study was to compare the therapeutic effects of activated platelet-rich plasma (PRP) prepared from elderly individuals and young adults to treat pressure ulcers (PUs), and to accumulate a theoretical basis for allogeneic PRP treatment of PUs in elderly patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Whole blood was extracted from elderly individuals aged >65 y and young adult volunteers for PRP preparation, and platelet concentrations in whole blood and PRP were compared...

The goal of regenerative medicine is to achieve tissue regeneration. In the past, commonly used techniques included autologous or allogeneic transplantation and stem cell therapy, which have limitations, such as a lack of donor sites in the case of autologous transplantation and the invasiveness of stem cell harvesting. In recent years, research has, therefore, focused on new and less invasive strategies to achieve tissue regeneration. A step forward in this direction has been made with the development of autologous platelet concentrates (APCs), which are derived from the patient's own blood...

Tibia open fractures and lower limb soft tissue injuries are undesired conditions for orthopedic and general surgeons, and there is no ideal procedure for treating recalcitrant ulcers or severe traumatic ulcers. Recently, several novel approaches have been proposed, such as bone marrow stem cells, platelets, fibrin glue, and collagen matrix. The current study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of combining platelets, fibrin glue, and a collagen matrix for treating a serious limb-threatening wound in a 33-year-old male with a right lower limb injury...

Regenerative medicine for the treatment of skin lesions is an innovative and rapidly developing field that aims to promote wound healing and restore the skin to its original condition before injury. Over the years, different topical treatments have been evaluated to improve skin wound healing and, among them, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) have shown promising results for this purpose. This study sought to evaluate the quality of the healing process in experimentally induced full-thickness skin lesions treated with PRP associated or unassociated with MSCs in a sheep second intention wound healing model...

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a biological hemocomponent derived from blood after the complete removal of red blood cells and the partial or complete removal of white blood cells to concentrate platelets in an appropriate volume of plasma. Platelets have important growth factors, cytokines, and active metabolites that improve the endometrial environment and positively affect implantation. This study evaluated the effect of the addition of activated PRP (platelets lysate; PL) on in vitro bovine oocyte maturation and embryonic development and the effect of intrauterine (IU) infusion of autologous PL in repeat breeder (RB) cows...
