Temporal Growth Factor Release from Platelet-Rich Plasma, Trehalose Lyophilized Platelets, and Bone Marrow Aspirate and Their Effect on Tendon and Ligament Gene Expression
Authors: Taralyn McCarrel and Lisa Fortier Abstract: Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has generated substantial interest for tendon and ligament regeneration because of the high concentrations of growth factors in platelet a-granules. This study compared the temporal release of growth factors from bone marrowaspirate (BMA), PRP, and lyophilized platelet product (PP), and measured their effects on tendon [...]
