Abstract

Platelets in PRP are used for their functions in the initiation and regulation of the wound healing process and are used for the repair of injured tissues and the rejuvenation of healthy tissues. In this study, we evaluated the effect of a single dose platelet-rich plasma on skin wound healing and we demonstrated the effect of platelet-rich plasma on skin wound healing by measuring changes in the wound tensile strength.Material and methods: A total of 8 incisions, each 3 cm long, were made on the back skin on both sides of the vertebral column of 12 rabbits. After suturing their backs with staples, platelet rich plasma (PRP) was injected into the edges of the wounds on the left side and saline solution (saline) was injected into the edges of the wounds on the right side. The tensile force that causes wounds to rupture by applying tension was measured on the 7th, 14th, 21st, and 28th days with the help of a special home-designed device.Results: The mean PRP enrichment was 3.19 fold over peripheral blood. The saline to PRP tensile strength ratios on the 7th, 14th, 21st, and 28th days were calculated as 75.7%, 104.0%, 105.3% and 86.5%, respectively. Overall, the difference in the tensile strength for wounds that had received salin...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
