Summary
Platelet-rich plasma-derived exosomes (PREs) show promise for treating traumatic olfactory dysfunction. A single case study suggests PRE nasal injections may further improve smell function after initial platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatment.
Area of Science:
- Otolaryngology
- Regenerative Medicine
- Neuroscience
Background:
- Traumatic olfactory dysfunction is a challenging condition.
- Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) nasal injections have shown potential for treating olfactory dysfunction.
- Platelet-rich plasma-derived exosomes (PREs) offer advantages over PRP, including enhanced stability and reduced immunogenicity.
