Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has emerged as a promising therapeutic approach in regenerative medicine. It contains various growth factors and bioactive molecules that play pivotal roles in tissue repair, regeneration, and inflammation modulation. This comprehensive narrative review delves into the therapeutic potential of PRP in experimental goat and sheep research, exploring recent advancements, challenges, and future prospects in the field. PRP has been explored for its application in musculoskeletal injuries, wound healing, and orthopedic conditions. Studies have demonstrated the ability of PRP to accelerate tissue healing, reduce inflammation, and improve the overall quality of healing. Recent advancements in PRP technology have led to the development of novel formulations and delivery methods to enhance its therapeutic efficacy. PRP has shown promise in tendon and ligament injuries, osteoarthritis, and bone fractures in experimental goat and sheep research. Despite these advancements, several challenges and opportunities exist to harness the full therapeutic potential of PRP in regenerative medicine. Standardizing PRP preparation protocols, including blood collection techniques, centrifugation parameters, and activation methods, is essential to ensure consistency and reproducibility of the findings. Moreover, further research is needed to elucidate the optimal dosing, frequency, and timing of PRP administration for different clinical indications. Research conducted in goat and sheep models provides evidence supporting the translational potential of PRP in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. By harnessing the regenerative properties of PRP and leveraging insights from preclinical studies, researchers can develop innovative therapeutic strategies to address unmet clinical needs and improve patient outcomes in diverse medical specialties. |
