In Vitro Evaluation of Therapeutic Laser Treatment on Equine Tendon Fibroblasts

Creator:

Husby, Kirsty A.

Abstract:

Previous investigations have failed to show benefits of low level laser therapy (LLLT) for tendon healing in horses, contrary to reports in other species. We hypothesized that delivery of LLLT at manufacturer-recommended energy fluence through equine cadaver skin to equine tendon-derived fibroblasts in vitro would increase cell proliferation, metabolic activity...

Is platelet rich plasma (PRP) the other alternative? A review and current research

Creator:

Ho, Louisa K. K.

Abstract:

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has been applied as a hemostatic agent since the 1970s, and a potent source of autologous growth factors since the 1990s. PRP is rich in growth factors such as platelet derived growth factor (PDGF), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β), fibroblast growth factor (FGF)...
