Platelet rich plasma (PRP): new perspectives in skeletal muscle regeneration after damage

Adult skeletal muscle can undergo regeneration after damage, thanks to a resident population of stem cells, namely satellite cells, located underneath the basement membrane of the skeletal muscle fibers. However, these cells are scarce in number and, in case of severe and extended muscle damage, they cannot be efficient enough as to promote tissue repair. Recent trends in the field of regenerative medicine are attempting to identify novel...
