research Expansion of Human Dermal Papilla Cells for Clinical Applications Using Human Platelet-rich Plasma as a Substitute for Fetal Bovine Serum
In this laboratory study, researchers found that human platelet-rich plasma (hPRP) significantly improved the proliferation and hair-inductive capacity of human dermal papilla cells (hDPCs) compared to fetal bovine serum, suggesting hPRP as a potential substitute for FBS in expanding hDPCs for clinical hair regeneration therapies.
