Applications of the Regenerative Capacity of Platelets in Modern Medicine

The document discusses the regenerative capacity of platelets, particularly through platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and platelet-rich fibrin (PRF), which are rich in growth factors crucial for wound healing. These platelet preparations have seen increased use in various medical fields, including dentistry, sports medicine, dermatology, gynecology, ophthalmology, and neurology. PRP therapy is highlighted as a promising alternative and complement to traditional treatments, especially in conditions where standard methods are ineffective. However, the efficacy of PRP can vary due to differences in preparation techniques, and further research is needed to standardize these procedures for specific clinical applications.
