A new cell culture supplement, platelet lysate, was evaluated with reference to fetal bovine serum (FBS), an established industrial medium for animal cell culture. Chemical and bacteriological profiles were conducted including the presence of platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF). PDGF was detected in the platelet lysate but it was not present in FBS. The platelet lysate medium demonstrated lack of microorganisms, mycoplasma and endotoxins. The platelet lysate was investigated in culture studies (cell growth, viability and product formation) towards a number of target cells including myelomas, hybridomas, hepatocytes, fibroblasts and epithelial cells. In general the platelet lysate medium supported cell growth and maintained viabilities comparable or superior to fetal bovine serum. Productivity studies of antibodies (hybridomas) and transferrin (hepatocytes) showed similar or enhanced production in platelet-derived medium in comparison with FBS.

Introduction: Platelet lysate (PL) demonstrates antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties offering potential for treatment of bacterial pneumonia in horses. It remains unknown whether nebulization is suitable for PL administration in horses. This pilot study characterized particle size and flow rate of pooled equine PL (single preparation) nebulized using an equine-specific nebulizer (Flexivent).

Biomechanical (over-)stimulation, in addition to inflammatory and fibrotic stimuli, severely impacts the biology, contributing to the overall chronic nature of desmopathy. A major challenge has been the lack of representative two-dimensional (2D) models mimicking inflammatory processes in the presence of dynamic mechanical strain, both being crucial for ligament homeostasis. Physiological levels of strain exert anti-inflammatory effects, while excessive strain can facilitate inflammatory mechanisms.

Cell micro-patterning controls cell fate and function and has potential for generating therapeutically usable mesenchymal stromal cell (MSC) populations with precise functions. However, to date, the micro-patterning of human cells in a translational context has been impossible because only ruminant media supplements, e.g.

Purpose: To investigate the combined effects of super-active platelet lysate (sPL) and acellular amniotic membrane (AAM) in promoting endometrial repair and enhancing endometrial receptivity in rats.
Methods: The characteristics of sPL-AAM were examined through scanning electron microscopy, contact angle tester, and release experiments. We aimed to establish a rat model for endometrial injury.

The objective of the present study was to determine the variability of platelet lysate-derived extracellular vesicles (pEV), in terms of characteristics and functionality through wound healing assays, when isolated either from platelet concentrates (PC, obtained from 5 donors) or from multiple PC (MPC, that is 50 donors). pEV were isolated under GMP-like conditions in a clean room using Size Exclusion Chromatography (SEC). The differential characteristics between pEV obtained from PC (PC-EV) or MPC (MPC-EV) were evaluated by means of protein concentration, Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis (NTA), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), and flow cytometry using the MACSPlex™ arrays for surface analysis profiling of EV.
