Exosomes derived from platelet-rich plasma promote the re-epithelization of chronic cutaneous wounds via activation of YAP in a diabetic rat model.

TL;DR: This study is the first to show that exosomes derived from PRP (PRP-Exos) may exert the function of PRP, and provides evidence of the probable molecular mechanisms underlying the PRP effect on healing of chronic ulcers and describes a promising resource of growth factors from exosome without species restriction.

Kinetics of hydroxyapatite precipitation at pH 10 to 11.

TL;DR: The mechanism and kinetics of hydroxyapatite precipitation from aqueous solution at the conditions of pH 10-11 and at calcium ion concentrations of more than 0.5 mol/l were investigated and showed that the reaction undergoes the following process: transferring from octacalcium phosphate to amorphous calcium phosphate rapidly, and then from ACP to calcium-deficient hydroxyAPatite (DAP) and HAP.

Alginate/chitosan particulate systems for sodium diclofenac release

TL;DR: The ability to release the active substance was examined as a function of some technological parameters and pH of dissolution medium and the nature of the gelifying cation allow a control of the release rate of the drug.
