History and Physiology of Plasmatic Growth Factors in Regenerative Medicine

Abstract

Alcaraz Rubio Jesus

There is no doubt that the use of plasma growth factors, within what is known as regenerative medicine, is emerging as a new medical discipline with a lot of clinical applications. Since its inception in use in sports medicine and dental implants in the mid-80s, gradually it has expanded its field of use in clinical specialties. More and more data on the physiology of angiotrope, immunomodulatory and cellular trophic power are known every day. Both the growth factors present in platelets and leukocytes produce on the cellular biological cycle, intervening in the processes of duplication, differentiation and apoptosis such as biochemical signals in the form of cytokine or chemokine cascades that intervene in the activation of these phenomena, through inflammation or ischemia, as well as the interrelationship between themNotwithstanding the great offer of existing indications and duplication of procedures for obtaining, which surpasses the scientific production capacity on this subject, that is questioning a biotechnology that well used in the near future will help improve the quality of life of the patients , optimizing those medical indications where it really is useful.
