: Freeze-drying is an effective means of storing platelets. In this study, we investigated the effects of a protective agent on freeze-dried platelet-rich plasma (FD-PRP) after a 12-week preservation period. Platelet structure was measured by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and the expression levels of procaspase activating compound (PAC)-1 and CD62P were measured by flow cytometry. The levels of transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β), platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) were determined by ELISA. The effect of FD-PRP on cell proliferation was measured by cell counting. TEM revealed that most platelets were intact, and their internal structure was evident. The expression levels of the platelet activation marker CD62P in FD-PRP and fresh PRP were 36.83% ± 8.21 and 35.47% ± 4.11, respectively, without a significant difference (P > 0.05). The expression levels of PAC-1 in FD-PRP and fresh PRP were 3.23% ± 0.49 and 2.83% ± 0.44, respectively, without a significant difference (P > 0.05). Upon activation of FD-PRP and fresh PRP by thrombin, the levels of TGF-β, PDGF and VEGF were not significantly decreased in FD-PRP. Moreover, FD-PRP promoted cell proliferation in a manner similar to that of fresh PRP. The protective agent maintained the biological activity of FD-PRP after a 12-week preservation period.

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP), produced from autologous blood and containing growth factors, has shown promise in treating various conditions, including diabetic wounds. However, as expected, patient compliance is low in the context of repeated treatments as required for hard-to-heal wounds. This study investigates the efficacy of PRP stored under refrigeration for up to 2 weeks in promoting in-vitro human epithelial cell gap closure.

The studies posits that there is not sufficient evidence to support the use of intrauterine platelet-rich plasma (PRP) infusion in patients with recurrent implantation failure (RIF). This study aims to investigate the effects of infusion of PRP on patients with unexplained-RIF in fresh and frozen embryo transfer (ET) cycles. A total of 80 participants were included in this study.

Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the presence of non-persistent endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs), including bisphenols, parabens, and benzophenones, in the colostrum of Panamanian mothers to understand their breastfeeding influences.
- Results showed that all colostrum samples contained multiple EDCs, with bisphenol A (BPA) being the most common at a detection rate of 91.7%, highlighting potential environmental exposures.
- The analysis also indicated that factors such as maternal residence, diet, and personal care products influenced EDC concentrations, suggesting the need for preventive measures to ensure safe breastfeeding practices.

Platelet rich plasma (PRP) is increasingly used in various fields of medicine, aiming to regeneration and repair damaged tissues, cells and organs. High concentration of bioactive molecules including growth factors, cytokines and chemokines are the rationale of using PRP. The aim of this study is to analyze the effect of frozen on the levels of growth factors.
