Platelet Rich Plasma Information and Research

Welcome to the PLATELET BIOLOGY page of ApexPRP.

Below is information about why platelets are important in healing.

Platelets are small but powerful. They contain a variety of growth factors such as transforming growth factor beta, vascular endothelial growth factor, and platelet derived growth factor. These are small molecules also known as cytokines that interact with the local cells and even send signals that initiate a variety of important events such as cell division and migration.
