“…PRP is a portion of the whole blood that can be extracted by the centrifugation and contains a high concentration of platelets and fibrin, that has now been shown to have a potent effect in stimulating the differentiation of stem cells into blood vessels, and tendon, bone, and cartilage cells (Zhang and Wang, 2010;Teixeira et al, 2012;Xu et al, 2015a). The concept that PRP could promote cell differentiation and tissue regeneration is based on the fact that platelets release role of platelet-released a variety of growth factors and adhesion molecules that include molecules, including platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), and epidermal growth factor (EGF), hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), vitronectin, fibronectin, and other factors that are secreted by the platelet granules (S anchez-Gonz alez et al, 2012;Masoudi et al, 2016). The growth factors and adhesion molecules present in PRP may play an effective role in the differentiation of stem cells into IPCs.…”
