Platelet-Rich Plasma: Myths vs. Reality, Health Effects, and Risks

This book presents a comprehensive and scientifically grounded overview of the use of Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) in regenerative medicine. Authored by Prof. Pietro Gentile, an expert in plastic and reconstructive surgery, the text explores both consolidated and innovative PRP-based strategies for tissue regeneration. Drawing on extensive in vivo, in vitro, and ex vivo research, the book focuses on PRP applications in hair regrowth, wound healing, and the regeneration of cartilage, soft tissue, and bone defects. It critically evaluates therapeutic outcomes, biological mechanisms, and potential risks, making it a valuable reference for clinicians and researchers involved in regenerative and aesthetic medicine.
