Platelet rich plasma (PRP) is a suspension of bioactive factors and chemokine enriched plasma. Platelets are a distinctive source of membrane bound and soluble proteins that are released upon their activation. The higher count of platelets renders PRP with an array of tissue regenerative abilities.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFLand plants have evolved sophisticated sensing mechanisms and signalling pathways to adapt to phosphate-limited environments. While molecular players contributing to these adaptations in flowering plants have been described, how non-vascular bryophytes regulate phosphate (Pi) homeostasis remained largely unknown. In this study, we present findings that both male and female plants of the liverwort Marchantia polymorpha respond to altered phosphate availability through substantial developmental changes.

The light-induced excited spin state trapping (LIESST) and the combined application of light and temperature can provide access to the metastable region of the SCO profile. The primary obstacle in utilizing light stimuli is the manifestation of light-induced trappings at extremely low temperatures.
