Research Abstract |
We used platelet-rich-plasma(PRP) as a novel method for therapeutic angiogenesis of limb ischemia. We showed that PRP contains several potent angiogenic growth factors such as SDF-1, PDGF-BB, VEGF, and bFGF. In addition, sustained release of PRP from biodegradable gelatin hydrogel facilitated angiogenesis both in normal and diabetic murine ischemic limb. This technique may be a promising option for therapeutic angiogenesis in the clinical settings.
