Abstract:
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) can be incorporated into the treatment of androgenic alopecia and aging facial skin. Genital rejuvenation involves the management of extrinsic (traumatic) and intrinsic (aging) changes of the vagina and scrotum. Lipofilling-with the additional injection of PRP (with or without hyaluronic acid)-has been used to successfully treat vaginal atrophy and vaginal laxity; the unexpected resolution of lichen sclerosus in one of the women prompts the consideration to initially use PRP for the treatment of this condition not only in women but also men. Additional evaluation of the potential efficacy of PRP for vaginal rejuvenation and scrotal rejuvenation is warranted.

Treatment for Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension: Prostacyclin Receptor Agonists
These agonists bind to the IPR receptor situated on the plasma membrane of the pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells. This binding triggers a cascade of reactions known as the GS-AC-cAMP-PKA pathway. This pathway results in the relaxation of smooth muscle...
Formation of the Platelet Plug
As the injured blood vessel contracts, endothelial cells undergo contraction, revealing collagen fibers in the basement membrane and underlying connective tissue. Furthermore, the plasma membrane of endothelial cells becomes adhesive, preparing the site for platelet adhesion. Platelets...
