Background: The purpose of this study was to create biomaterial scaffolds like platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) containing stromal cell-derived factor-1 (SDF1) as a chemokine to induce hyaline cartilage regeneration of rabbit knee in a full thickness defect.Methods: We created a full thickness defect in the trochlear groove of thirty-six bilateral knees of eighteen matu...

Background: Cell therapy and cell culture have received much attention in recent decades. Suitable cell growth requires growth supplements such as fetal bovine serum (FBS). FBS is component rich in nutrients, growth factors and supplementary compounds. However, FBS utilization has some limitations including mass production. Therefore, finding alternatives with the same growth promoting effects ...

Partial thickness rotator cuff tears (PTRCTs) are a common pathology among shoulder disorders in people over 50 years.Treatment of PTRCTs remains controversial. Most studies on the treatment of PTRCTs have explained surgical techniquesor outcomes; few studies have centralized on the conservative and new management of PTRCTs, like treatmentwith Platelet-rich plasma (PRP). These case series study...

conclusions our study demonstrates positive results (preservation or regeneration of bone) using prp in treatment of bronj. although prp may enhance osseous regeneration, long-term follow-ups are required to confirm its benefits. background bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaws (bronj) is a well-known challenging entity warranting management. platelet-rich plasma (prp) plays an impor...

OBJECTIVE Platelet-rich plasma is blood plasma enriched with platelets and contains various growth factors. Two major issues remain to be resolved in the use of platelet-rich plasma: the short biological activity after application, and the need to prepare platelet-rich plasma at each application instance. To overcome these problems, we developed a drug delivery system using gelatin hydrogel and...

Background: With the increase in life expectancy, middle aged and elderly people comprise a substantial percentage of the population worldwide. Since aging often manifests itself in the human skin, skin rejuvenation methods have gained a lot of popularity. Current medical modalities such as botulinum toxininjection, fillers, and laser therapy can provide symptomatic relief of skin aging s...
