Question
Chapter 9.6, Problem 1CT
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The possible benefits and risk of stem cell and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) proteins.
Introduction:
Stem cells are undifferentiated cells, which have the ability to give rise to same type of daughter cells. These daughter cells then undergo a differentiation process and give rise to different types of cells. Platelet-rich plasma is a protein derived from blood cells, which is used for healing the damaged tissues.
