TLDR Growth factors-rich plasma treatments can significantly speed up wound healing and tissue regeneration.

The document reviews the use of Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and Growth factors-rich plasma in healing wounds and regenerating tissue. The study involved three patients with diabetic ulcers who were treated with these substances weekly. The results indicated that the use of Growth factors-rich plasma and membrane led to significant wound healing within 3 to 6 applications, with new vascularization and re-epithelialization observed. The study concluded that this treatment is a promising therapy for wound healing due to its potential to accelerate the repair and regeneration of injured tissue, facilitated by the release of cytokines with platelet-derived growth molecules enveloped in alpha-granule.

in Research 692 upvotes 3 months 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.
