Therapeutic potential of adult platelets and cord blood platelets in future clinical directions

Abstract

Platelet rich plasma (PRP) is currently obtaining a natural concentration of autologous growth factors, and is used in different medical conditions. This review is aimed to establish several treatment options using adult PRP and scope of the therapeutic benefits of cord blood platelet rich plasma (CB-PRP) for future clinical directions. A literature search was done based on the clinical applications of PRP in the fields of dermatology, orthopaedic, dental, ophthalmology and gynaecology. The field keywords were searched in major indexing services for collecting the relevant articles from January 2010 to June 2023. PRP therapies are potential and efficient treatment options and established protocols for certain diseases but there is a need to establish CB-PRP opportunities of improving efficacy for promoting clinical application. Further research can focus on CB-PRP and it may be considered as immunologically compatible to use as allogenic.
