June 2026 in “Kocatepe Veterinary Journal” This study investigated the effects of intratesticular platelet-rich plasma (PRP) on testicular development in male lambs, focusing on testosterone levels, testicular morphometry, and hemodynamics. Over 10 months, 16 lambs received PRP injections, while 16 controls received saline. Results showed that the PRP group had significantly higher testicular blood flow, scrotal thickness, and testicular length compared to controls, with a lower resistance index in Doppler ultrasonography (p<0.05). Variations in platelet counts and growth factor levels were also noted. The findings suggest that early PRP administration may slightly benefit testicular development due to growth factors in PRP.
June 2026 in “University of Science and Technology Journal for Medical Sciences” PRP gel may be slightly more effective than phenytoin cream for healing diabetic foot ulcers.
May 2026 in “International Journal of Drug Delivery Technology” This comprehensive review discusses the current trends and novel approaches in platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy, highlighting its therapeutic potential due to autologous growth factors for tissue repair and regeneration. PRP's applications span orthopedics, dermatology, dentistry, wound healing, and plastic surgery, with recent focus areas including osteoarthritis, hair restoration, and maxillofacial regeneration. Innovations involve combining PRP with biomaterials, stem cell therapy, and aesthetic medicine. The review emphasizes the need for individualized PRP therapy, addressing patient-specific concerns and optimizing dosing. Challenges include variability in PRP quality, regulatory issues, and potential side effects. Future directions involve genomic insights, nanotechnology, and regenerative medicine applications, aiming to address unmet needs and advance PRP's application.
May 2026 in “International Journal of Drug Delivery Technology” The study investigated the effects of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) on androgenetic alopecia, focusing on hair restoration, including white hair. Conducted as a randomized control trial with 56 participants, the research compared high leukocyte PRP with commercial PRP. Results indicated that while initial effects of PRP might not be immediately visible, high leukocyte PRP showed more significant benefits in increasing hair density and improving patient satisfaction. The study concludes that PRP, particularly high leukocyte PRP, is a promising regenerative treatment for androgenetic alopecia, enhancing hair restoration through positive growth factors.
May 2026 in “Dove Medical Press (Taylor and Francis Group)” Buffy coat PRP is more effective for hair growth in androgenetic alopecia than apheresis PRP.
Combining platelet-rich plasma with other treatments may improve hair growth in androgenetic alopecia.

May 2026 in “Skin Appendage Disorders” Combining PRP with other treatments may improve hair growth more than PRP alone.
This experimental study on 16 female Wistar rats investigated the effects of heterologous leukocyte-rich platelet-rich plasma (L-PRP) on the viability of random-pattern dorsal skin flaps. The study found that local application of L-PRP significantly improved flap survival by reducing necrosis compared to the control group. Specifically, Group B (L-PRP treated) exhibited lower mean necrosis (0.59) and no severe necrosis cases, while Group A (control) showed higher mean necrosis (0.82) with only mediocre/severe necrosis. The results suggest that L-PRP enhances flap viability without causing adverse reactions, indicating its potential feasibility for improving skin flap outcomes.
