Three-dimensional structure and cytokine distribution of platelet-rich fibrin [PDF]
OBJECTIVES: Previous reports have revealed that several cytokines (including platelet-derived growth factor-BB, transforming growth factors-β1 and insulin-like growth factor-1) can enhance the rate of bone formation and synthesis of extracellular matrix ...

Studies on the Biological Effects of Ozone: 10. Release of Factors from Ozonated Human Platelets [PDF]
In a previous work we have shown that heparin, in the presence of ozone (O3), promotes a dose-dependent platelet aggregation, while after Ca2+ chelation with citrate, platelet aggregation is almost negligible.

Platelet-derived growth factor signaling in pericytes promotes hypothalamic inflammation and obesity [PDF]
Background Pericytes are a vital component of the blood–brain barrier, and their involvement in acute inflammation was recently suggested. However, it remains unclear whether pericytes contribute to hypothalamic chronic inflammation and energy metabolism

Growth factors of random butterfly matrices and the stability of avoiding pivoting [PDF]
Random butterfly matrices were introduced by Parker in 1995 to remove the need for pivoting when using Gaussian elimination. The growing applications of butterfly matrices have often eclipsed the mathematical understanding of how or why butterfly matrices are able to accomplish these given tasks.

Context: Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) releases growth factors (GFs) upon activation which accelerates the healing and regeneration in the target tissue. Wider applications of PRP warrant product standardization.

Platelet-derived transforming growth factor-β1 promotes keratinocyte proliferation in cutaneous wound healing. [PDF]
Platelets are a recognised potent source of transforming growth factor-β1 (TGFβ1), a cytokine known to promote wound healing and regeneration by stimulating dermal fibroblast proliferation and extracellular matrix deposition.

Platelet-Rich Plasma: Quantitative Assessment of Growth Factor Levels and Comparative Analysis of Activated and Inactivated Groups [PDF]
BackgroundPlatelet-rich plasma (PRP) has more concentrated platelets than normal plasma (approximately 150-400×103 cell/dL). Platelets excrete several growth factors and cytokines that are associated with the healing and regeneration process.

PDGF-BB homodimer serum level – a good indicator of the severity of alcoholic liver cirrhosis
Introduction Liver cirrhosis is a chronic disease in which progressive fibrosis is noted. This process leads to changed architectonics of the liver parenchyma and the appearance of regenerative nodules, all of which are caused by pathological activation ...
