The general influence of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) on biological features of biomaterials for nerve tissue applications. Cell culture experiments in vitro indicated that Schwann cells (SCs) or endothelial cells, which are grown on biomaterials enriched with PRP, exhibited higher adhesion, viability and proliferation when compared to cells cultured on unmodified biomaterials. In vivo studies showed that biomaterials enriched with PRP possessed better ability to accelerate nerve regeneration when compared to biomaterials without PRP.
