Abstract:Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a biological blood-derived therapeutic that releases several proteins in injured tissue, regulating the inflammatory process and triggering tissue anabolism. Outside of the central nervous system (CNS), these platelets represent the major source of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). The associated anti-inflammatory, antiapoptotic, and antioxidant properties of this neurotrophin could have a potential applicability applied in the pathophysiology of osteoarthritis (OA).
