    TLDR Platelet-rich plasma can effectively treat and prevent tissue infections.
    This review highlighted the overlooked antibacterial properties of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and its potential in preventing and treating tissue infections. It summarized preclinical and clinical findings that supported PRP's effectiveness in wound and bone infection management. The study suggested that PRP's biocompatibility, along with its antibacterial and healing-promoting properties, made it a promising option for tissue infection treatment.
