platelet-rich plasma wound healing diabetic rats oral mucosal wounds PRP

TLDR A single PRP injection speeds up wound healing in both diabetic and non-diabetic rats.

The study evaluated the effect of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) on wound healing in the tongues of 108 normal and diabetic albino rats. The results showed that PRP treatment before wounding accelerated healing significantly by the 3rd day post-operation in both diabetic and non-diabetic rats. Complete healing was observed by the 7th day in subgroups treated with PRP after wounding, similar to non-diabetic controls, while untreated diabetic rats only showed partial healing. The study concluded that a single PRP injection could serve as a prophylactic and therapeutic measure to enhance wound healing in both diabetic and non-diabetic oral mucosal wounds.

community If You Have DUPA, PLEASE READ THIS: Everyone Should Be Scalp Biopsied

in Research 830 upvotes 1 year ago

Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.

research Photothermal Hydrogels for Infection Control and Tissue Regeneration

10 citations , March 2024 in “Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology”

Photothermal hydrogels are promising materials for infection control and tissue regeneration due to their ability to convert light into heat, which can kill bacteria and promote tissue healing. These hydrogels incorporate photothermal agents (PTAs) that enhance antibacterial activity and support tissue repair by modulating local temperatures. They can be prepared through various methods, such as integrating PTAs into hydrogels or forming photothermal nanoparticles within them. Despite their potential, challenges like PTA aggregation and potential toxicity remain. Future research should focus on improving stability, photothermal efficiency, and biocompatibility to advance clinical applications.
