Background: Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is increasingly utilized for managing knee osteoarthritis (KOA), yet its clinical value remains debated due to the variability in preparation protocols and outcome measures. Methods: This narrative review synthesizes current evidence from 40 high-quality studies published between 2013 March 2025, including randomized controlled trials, systematic reviews, meta-analyses. The biological mechanisms, effectiveness, safety, implementation challenges of PRP therapy KOA are examined. Results: injections—particularly leukocyte-poor PRP—demonstrate superior pain relief functional improvement compared hyaluronic acid corticosteroids, especially patients with mild moderate (Kellgren–Lawrence grades I–III). However, heterogeneity formulations (platelet/leukocyte content activation protocols), injection regimens, follow-up durations limits direct comparability across studies.

Background/Objectives: Regenerative therapies have gained interest in orthopedic applications for their potential to enhance tissue regeneration, functional recovery, and pain modification. This review evaluates the clinical efficacy of platelet-rich plasma (PRP), mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), peptide-based treatments, biomimetic materials care, with a focus on reduction outcomes. Methods: A structured literature search PubMed (January 2009–January 2025) identified 160 studies. After applying inclusion criteria prioritizing randomized controlled trials (RCTs) trials, 59 studies were included: 20 PRP, MSCs, 10 peptide therapies, 7 biomimetics. Data extraction focused risk bias assessed using Cochrane Risk Bias (RoB) tool ROBINS-I tool. random-effects meta-regression analysis was conducted evaluate impact therapy type, sample size, reported Results: Meta-regression MSC as most effective intervention (β = 8.45, p < 0.05), PRP showing moderate improvements, demonstrating lowest effect. provided short-term relief, particularly acute injuries tendon repair, though inconsistencies preparation methods limited success chronic conditions. demonstrated cartilage regeneration early osteoarthritis improvement, but high costs ethical concerns remain barriers widespread adoption. Peptide-based materials, including engineered scaffolds autologous protein solutions, showed promise infection control wound healing, further research is needed optimize dosing, delivery methods, long-term safety. Conclusions: offer significant reliable regenerative effects, providing symptomatic treatments emerging promising adjuncts. However, standardized protocols large-scale are establish improve translation broader

Background: Intraovarian platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has emerged as a novel intervention at the intersection of reproductive medicine and regenerative biology. As women with diminished ovarian reserve (DOR), poor response to stimulation, or premature insufficiency (POI) seek fertility solutions, PRP provides scientifically plausible—yet exploratory—strategy restore augment function. The proposed pathways include stimulation local stem cells, tissue remodeling, neoangiogenesis, potential reawakening dormant follicles. Methods: This narrative review critically synthesizes existing literature on intraovarian therapy. It draws from published case series, pilot studies, preclinical data evaluate biological rationale, clinical outcomes, current limitations use in DOR POI. Results: Early findings, albeit limited modest series investigations, reveal promising outcomes such improved markers, menstrual restoration, infrequent spontaneous pregnancies who had previously been unresponsive treatment. However, variability preparation techniques, patient selection criteria, outcome measures limits generalizability these results. Conclusions: While presents an exciting frontier medicine, absence defined protocols, controlled trials, long-term safety underscores its experimental nature. Future research should focus standardizing methodologies, conducting randomized elucidating molecular mechanisms underlying observed effects establish PRP’s role managing
