Title:
Optimization of platelet isolation and extraction of autogenous TGF-beta in cartilage tissue engineering.
Abstract:
Platelets are enriched with Transforming Growth Factor-beta (TGF-beta). However, information is limited concerning TGF-beta's effects at the molecular level. Nevertheless, it has been demonstrated that TGF-beta activates cell proliferation and its positive influence on cartilage formation has been proven within the field of Tissue Engineering (TE). As Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) contains TGF-beta, it was the purpose of this study to optimize PRP-isolation for further TGF-beta extraction. Red bloo...     »
