Platelet-rich plasma modulates neuroinflammation in an iPSC model of sensory neurons and microglia
Read the publication to explore:
-
The establishment of a direct co-culture of human iPSC-derived sensory neurons and microglia, stimulated with IFN-gamma and LPS, as an in vitro model of neuroinflammation
-
A comparison of standard platelet-rich plasma (sPRP) and balanced protein-concentrate plasma (BPCP), enriched in extraplatelet molecules, in modulating neuroinflammation, microglial activation, apoptosis and neuronal plasticity
-
How BPCP reduced pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-6, IL-8, MCP-1) more than sPRP, while downregulating microglial activation and apoptotic markers
-
How sPRP promoted inflammation resolution and neuroprotection, upregulating IL-10 and TGF-β1 and partially restoring KCC2 (SLC12A5) expression
-
How ioSensory Neurons and ioMicroglia were used
