Platelet-rich plasma on cutaneous wound healing

Wound healing is a complicated process mediated by physical, chemical, and cellular processes. The healing process is initiated by hemostasis and consists of inflammation, proliferation/repair, and remodeling, which are regulated by various cells, cytokines, and growth factors. Platelets play important roles in wound healing because of their hemostatic function and concentrated levels of naturally occurring cytokines and growth factors. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has been shown to be effective in tissue healing.
