autologous platelet growth factor

Autologous platelet growth factor is a biologic preparation derived from a patient's own blood, specifically processed to concentrate growth factors released from activated platelets. These factors, including platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β), are essential for tissue regeneration, angiogenesis, and cellular proliferation. In the context of androgenetic alopecia, this therapy is administered via local scalp injections to stimulate hair follicle activity and improve hair density. A specific mechanized freeze-dried formulation developed by Ruijin Hospital aims to provide a more stable and standardized alternative to traditional liquid autologous preparations like Concentrated Growth Factors (CGF).
