December 2022 in “Regenerative Therapy” November 2022 in “Frontiers in Medicine” This systematic review assessed the efficacy of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in treating alopecia areata (AA) and primary cicatricial alopecias (PCAs) by analyzing 32 studies with 621 AA patients and 19 PCA patients. PRP showed promising results in AA, especially in mild cases, with better efficacy than placebo and similar efficacy to intralesional triamcinolone acetonide (TA). PRP also had benefits as an adjunctive treatment. However, its efficacy in PCAs was less clear due to limited studies and variable responses. The review emphasizes the need for more high-quality, randomized controlled trials to confirm PRP's therapeutic potential in these conditions.
November 2022 in “Journal of Nanobiotechnology” This study developed a scalable and high-throughput method for producing an injectable composite system combining platelet-rich plasma (PRP), cell-laden microcarriers, and hydrogels for hair follicle (HF) tissue engineering. The system, tested both in vitro and in vivo, significantly enhanced dermal papilla cell (DPC) proliferation, migration, and HF regeneration. In vivo experiments on mice showed that PRP-loaded microcarriers accelerated hair cycle transition and increased new hair follicle formation, with ~35 HFs and ~12 vessels per site. The findings suggest that this composite system could be a promising approach for treating hair loss and promoting hair growth through sustained release of growth factors and a conducive microenvironment.
