The document from 2021, "Platelet lysate: a promising candidate in regenerative medicine," discussed the potential of human platelet lysate in regenerative medicine due to its richness in growth factors for cell expansion. The researchers highlighted its use not only in cell therapy but also in completing basal media in mesenchymal stem cell cultures. The presence of numerous growth factors in platelet lysates suggested their potential roles in treating various conditions, including wound healing, ocular graft-versus-host disease, osteoarthritis, Parkinson’s disease, tendon regeneration, infertility, androgenetic alopecia, nerve repair, and regenerative tissue like bone regeneration. The review concluded that platelet lysates could be valuable treatment candidates for a variety of diseases in regenerative medicine.
