Human platelet lysate as a potential clinical-translatable supplement to support the neurotrophic properties of human adipose-derived stem cells.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The autologous nerve graft, despite its donor site morbidity and unpredictable functional recovery, continues to be the gold standard in peripheral nerve repair. Rodent research studies have shown promising results with cell transplantation of human adipose-derived stem cells (hADSC) in a bioengineered conduit, as an alternative strategy for nerve regeneration. To achieve meaningful clinical translation, cell therapy must comply with biosafety. Cell extraction and expansion methods that use animal-derived products, including enzymatic adipose tissue dissociation and the use of fetal bovine serum (FBS) as a culture medium supplement, have the potential for transmission of zoonotic infectious and immunogenicity. Human-platelet-lysate (hPL) serum has been used in recent yea
