Platelet-rich Blood Derivatives for Tendon Regeneration

Abstract

Tendon injuries constitute a significant healthcare problem with variable clinical outcomes. The complex interplay of tissue homeostasis, degeneration, repair, and regeneration makes the development of successful delivery therapeutic strategies challenging. Platelet-rich hemoderivatives, a source of supra-physiologic concentrations of human therapeutic factors, are a promising application to treat tendon injuries from the perspective of tendon tissue engineering, although the outcomes remain controversial.
