All the plasma and platelet fractions evaluated in this study exert an anti-inflammatory effect on macrophages, suggesting that both the plasma and platelet proteomes contribute to anti-inflammation. However, the extent and nature of the anti-inflammatory action vary among products. Further studies are needed to better understand the functionality of platelet biomaterials and optimize their clinical use.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
