TLDR Platelets and their derivatives, like PRP, can help tissue regeneration, but need standardized safety protocols.
The document reviewed the characteristics and potential clinical uses of platelets and their derivatives, particularly Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP), in advanced therapies. It highlighted the role of platelets in tissue regeneration and the non-transfusional use of PRP to enhance cellular regeneration in difficult-to-repair lesions. The review emphasized the need for standardized protocols and quality control measures, including traceability, efficacy, and pharmacovigilance, to ensure the safe use of PRP in clinical settings, as regulated by Brazilian authorities.
