| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Platelets are released from mature megakaryocytes and have an essential role in hemostatic plug formation. Recently, a line of evidence supports the clinical application of platelets to accelerate wound healing. However, it is difficult to use peripheral platelets for wide-range wound. Thus, new strategies for manufacturing megakaryocytes and subsequently platelets are urgently needed. Thus, the use of pre-adipocytes from adipose tissues would be advantageous for establishing a culture system to produce platelets for clinical application. Pre-adipocyte-derived platelets have the ability of activation and contain cytokines in relation to wound healing. We also examined the effect of pre-adipocyte-derived platelets on wound healing of immunodeficient NOG mouse with full-thickness excisional wound. Taken together, manufacturing platelets from pre-adipocytes would be advantageous for wound healing.
