Plasma<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For plasma donation awareness week, we have compiled some information that we think you might find interesting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

History<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In 1994, a team of surgeons applied autologous plasma to the spongy tissue of a mandibular bone.
Autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a possible treatment for wound healing because it has components such as fibrin and high concentrations of growth factors (PRGF) that help in healing and bone regeneration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two years later, scientists Mark and Cols<\/strong> concluded that PRP increased the concentration of platelets (cells responsible for healing wounds<\/strong>) in the tissues, and regenerated the cells due to its enormous reserves of bioactive proteins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, the bone was able to consolidate much more quickly than with other treatments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It is a liquid component of the blood that contains valuable information about the entire organism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We could say that it is a biological treasure that transports essential elements, including blood cells, nutrients and, especially, proteins, which it distributes to all organs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This unique vital liquid can potentially be the basis for the treatment of many diseases and, therefore, be key to improving people’s quality of life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are five types of cells in the blood:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Red blood cells<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. White blood cells<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Platelets<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Organic compounds<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Electrolytes<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    What is plasma made of?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    Plasma is a yellowish, almost transparent component of blood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
