    Studysummary This study reported that in patients with androgenic alopecia, platelet-rich plasma therapy's effectiveness in enhancing hair density and caliber was positively correlated with specific growth factor concentrations, notably glial cell-derived neurotrophic factor and platelet-derived growth factor-BB, while no significant correlations were found with demographic factors.
