Got a story idea for Bloodworks 101? Send us a text message At Bloodworks, we like to say that platelets are "golden." Why? well, as Bloodworks 101 producer John Yeager found out, it's because they have such an impact on the people who receive them. But it's also because of the time and sacrifice it takes to produce them. For this edition, John spoke to Bloodworks' Senior Product Strategy Manager Kyle Boynton.

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is making headlines in the field of fertility, with ovarian PRP emerging as a promising approach for women facing certain egg quality challenges. This type of treatment involves injecting a woman's own platelet-rich plasma into her ovaries. PRP is a concentration of platelets and growth factors created from a patient's own blood. These growth factors can stimulate cellular regeneration and may help to improve ovarian function and increase IVF success.  Its been used for decades in the beauty industry, hair growth and in healing a variety of conditions. Why not try it for fertility as well?!  Dr. Jesse Hade, MD, REI and his colleagues at Generation Next Fertility Center in NYC conducted a study to assess just that. They found that this therapy may be particularly beneficial for women experiencing premature ovarian failure or diminished ovarian reserve, conditions that impact the quantity and quality of eggs available for fertilization. Ovarian PRP is also being explored as a treatment option for women who have had poor responses to IVF cycles.Tune in as we are joined by Dr. Jesse Hade, MD, REI - a compassionate board-certified reproductive endocrinologist with over two decades of private practice experience, is a leading expert in fertility and has earned numerous awards for his research.

It's rare that a blood donor and a recipient get to connect but that's exactly what happens on this special ENCORE episode of Bloodworks 101 when frequent platelet donor Dan Ertel meets Mack Bell, a 30-year-old African-American man living with cerebral palsy, who contracted a potentially-deadly blood condition called aplastic anemia. That's a deficiency of all types of blood cells caused by failure of bone marrow development.Mack, as you'll discover,  was the recipient of several transfusions that played a big role in the effort to save his life. So, here's what happens when someone with a lot to be grateful for gets to thank someone who wasn't expecting it.But there's more. Wait til you hear what's happened since this story first ran in January of 2022.

Chris Paradise, VP of Research and Development at Rion, is taking an acellular approach to developing next-generation regenerative medicines to treat degenerative diseases. The proprietary Rion system PEP, purified exosome product, uses extracellular vesicles or exosomes isolated from human blood platelets to send regenerative messages to cells to stimulate faster healing. This regenerative therapeutic allows for the administration in various forms, such as nebulization for pulmonary conditions and topical application for wounds. Chris explains, "What our focus has shifted towards at Rion is now an acellular approach, so it doesn't involve the use of cells or other components that have been proposed in the past. But we're focusing on extracellular vesicles or exosomes, and we can discuss those in more detail in a minute. But the point of emphasis is that it overcomes many of the limitations the field has previously faced. We're excited to offer reproducible, consistent, and, most importantly, accessible and affordable regenerative therapeutic with a significant impact." "If you think about how two cells communicate with one another, one of the ways they do this is to send messages in little packages between one another, known as extracellular vesicles. It's the fundamental way that cells and tissues more broadly communicate with each other, send signals to one another, and respond to their environment. And so what you find within these vesicles is essentially what one cell is trying to say to another. And they're designed such that they're incredibly stable and designed to do exactly that, which is deliver messages to cells." "I'll back up to the source of the material, which is human platelets. Most people are familiar with platelets as a key component of your blood. If we get an injury or a cut, the bleeding tends to stop relatively quickly. That's because platelets respond to that injury site and form a clot, which stops the bleeding. Much like the conversation about the newfound appreciation for exosomes, I've certainly gained a new appreciation for the impact platelets have, not only on the control of bleeding but, more importantly, the regenerative processes that are jump-started after that to heal the tissues." #RionTX #RegenerativeMedicine #RegenerativeTherapeutics #Acellular #PlateletDerived #Exosomes  riontx.com Download the transcript here

When there is an injury or damage to blood vessels, platelets become activated and adhere to the site of injury, where they release various substances to initiate the blood clotting process. This is a normal and essential part of the body's response to injury, preventing excessive bleeding. However, when platelets become overactivated, it can lead to problems, especially in the context of cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Platelet stickiness refers to the tendency of platelets, small blood cells, to adhere to each other or to the walls of blood vessels upon activation. Normally, platelets circulate in the blood in an inactive state. However, when there's injury or damage to blood vessels, platelets become activated, changing shape and releasing chemical signals that prompt them to stick together (aggregate) and adhere to the damaged vessel walls. This adhesive property of platelets is crucial in the process of hemostasis, which is the body's mechanism to prevent excessive bleeding. When blood vessels are injured, platelets adhere to the site of injury, forming a plug to seal the damaged area. This initial platelet aggregation is followed by the coagulation cascade, involving the formation of a blood clot to further stem the bleeding. There are 7 new secrets you will learn about reducing platelet stickiness in this lesson. While platelet stickiness is essential for preventing excessive bleeding, abnormal or excessive platelet aggregation and adhesion can lead to issues like thrombosis, where blood clots form within blood vessels without an injury or obstruction, potentially causing blockages and leading to conditions such as heart attacks or strokes. Therefore, the regulation of platelet stickiness is crucial for maintaining proper hemostasis and preventing abnormal clotting.

Platelet-rich plasma is injected into your ovaries during the surgery (PRP). PRP is a concentrated solution made from your own blood and is employed in different areas of medicine. The process is based on the PRP's inherent growth factors, which can help with: Regeneration of tissue, increased blood flow, and decreased inflammation The theory is that it may also reverse signs of aging in your ovaries and activate previously dormant eggs. Doctors tested this in a small research with eight women in their 40s. Each of these women had gone around five months without a period. To assess how well their ovaries were working, researchers measured their hormone levels at the start of the study and every month after that. All of the participants resumed their regular periods after one to three months. The mature eggs were then accessible to the doctors for fertilization. Getting pregnant after beginning perimenopause is doable: Although difficult, being pregnant during perimenopause is not impossible. Your ovaries might start releasing eggs again after a surgery like ovarian rejuvenation. Your ovaries' mature follicles rupture during ovulation to release an egg or eggs. Ovulation becomes less regular after perimenopause sets in, and you don't release a viable egg every month. The fact that your ovaries still contain healthy eggs is what matters. The ovarian rejuvenation technique might aid in restoring or rebalancing the hormones that regulate follicle maturation and bursting. This will enable you to conceive naturally or will enable medical professionals to retrieve an egg for In-Vitro-Fertilization(IVF). Researchers discovered that all four participants produced an egg that could be harvested for fertilization in the one peer-reviewed study that had been done up to that point. Ovarian Rejuvenation How ovarian rejuvenation works: Stem Cells can, under the proper biological stimulus, morph into any type of cell in the human body, including eggs. The presence of Stem Cells in the ovaries and their transformation into mature oocytes (egg cells) has been demonstrated in mice by Harvard researchers. Stem Cells have also been shown to be present in the human ovary, so it is quite possible that they can be transformed into eggs by Growth Factors contained in the individuals' own white blood cells and platelets which have been injected into the ovary. Injections of Growth Factors, when used for many other types of medical treatments, are made from a patient's own blood and blood cells. The Latest results at the Crete Clinic: According to our latest data, the success rates of PRP reach over 85% and according to our data so far, the pregnancy rates that we have achieved after PRP are 48%, of which 26% was achieved with natural conception. Both PRP techniques, transvaginal ultrasound and laparoscopy, can be carried out in our clinic. The success rates of both techniques coincide. Our experience in the field of fertility has been evident by the study that we have done and it has already been published with data from 2017 – 2018 and it is the most extensive study in the world as far as the number of the patients are concerned. In a short while, our new study with a sample of about 500 patients will be published which will prove our new data which is even more encouraging and exceptional. Enriched PRP Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is an innovative regenerative therapy, which involves the application of autologous platelet-leukocyte-rich plasma containing growth factors and thrombin directly to the site of treatment. PRP treatment has been used broadly in several areas of medicine and aesthetics to relieve pain, reduce inflammation, initiate healing and of course regeneration and rejuvenation of the tissues. The degranulation of platelets releases the biological factors into the site giving the beneficial effect. To increase the efficiency of the PRP, Crete Fertility Centre started to apply a novel technology by enriching and fortifying that with growth factors (Enriched PRP – EnPRP), derived from the patient's own blood. The most important benefit of the Enriched PRP – EnPRP is that it contains over 10 times higher concentration of growth factors and cytokines.  Evidence from research shows that it is the growth factors that reside in the platelet granules that are responsible for inducing healing and regeneration. With this novel technique we managed to break the billions of platelets and directly get the growth factors and cytokines. So, we offer an extra energy to the ovarian rejuvenation process, by applying them directly. This way, we fortify and make more efficient the PRP effect on the ovarian stem cells. This treatment acts on the ovary, reversing the aging process of the follicles and awakening their development process. It is at least 10 times more effective and efficient from the PRP alone and it has direct and long-lasting effect. Similar is the effect of the Enriched PRP – EnPRP to the uterine and vaginal rejuvenation. Regarding the uterine Enriched PRP – EnPRP, our first results revealed that it has greater efficacy on the endometrial growth and subsequently on the pregnancy rates, since pregnancy rate is increased with growing endometrial thickness. EnPRP makes the endometrium (lining) friendly for the embryos during an IVF or spontaneous pregnancy. Melatonin & Menopause Reversal For Women Under 50 Researchers have been looking at the relationships between melatonin and menopause for a long time. Your pineal gland produces the hormone that promotes sleep aka melatonin. According to earlier studies, the pineal gland starts to decrease as menopause approaches. Melatonin is thought by scientists to be crucial in the synthesis of reproductive hormones. The levels of reproductive hormones start to fall off without it. According to one study, women between the ages of 43 and 49 who received a nightly dose of 3 milligrams of melatonin had their periods return. These participants were either menopausal or in the perimenopausal stage. Ages 50 to 62 participants showed no impacts. Melatonin may be a natural, risk-free method of postponing, or perhaps possibly reversing, menopause, though more research is needed in this area. 3mg Melatonin About this item Rest Support - Melatonin is a hormone that is released from the pineal gland, a pea-sized endocrine gland located in the brain. One of melatonin's principal functions is to help regulate rest by controlling our day and night biological rhythms, known as the 'circadian rhythm' or our 24-hour biological clock. Melatonin- 3 mg of quality melatonin in each capsule. * Important Antioxidant - Melatonin also supports healthy immune and stress responses and is an important antioxidant, which acts as an effective scavenger of free radicals. * Always Pure & Effective Products - This product is Non-GMO and contains No Gluten, Dairy, or Soy.* Over 50,000 Doctors Agree - Designs for Health is the physician's choice for top quality professional strength supplements since 1989.

Platelets -- the part of blood that helps control bleeding -- are lifesaving for cancer patients, those receiving organ or bone marrow transplants, victims of trauma, and patients undergoing open-heart surgery. But donated platelets have a shelf-life of only 5-7 days. What if we could extend the life of platelets? What if modern platelet use is based on outdated assumptions? Dr. Moritz Stolla of Bloodworks Research institute wants to find out.

In this week's episode, we discuss the findings from a phase 2 study of lenalinomide plus rituximab in elderly frail patients with DLBCL, learn more about platelet GP6-mediated neutrophil recruitment in early stages of acute lung injury, and discuss a newly identified isoform of the tyrosine kinase AXL, termed AXL3, in mantle cell lymphoma.

Today we're talking all about women's sexual health: Everything from the complexities of the human body to the science behind orgasms, vaginal health, and libido. It's astonishing to know that conditions such as urinary incontinence (which affects between 10 to 20 million women), is the primary reason women are placed in nursing homes. Additionally, around 50 million women suffer from some form of sexual dysfunction. Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) provides a safe, natural method for vaginal rejuvenation. PRF is autologous, meaning it is biocompatible; derived from your own blood. This reduces the risk of allergic reactions or rejections. With the growth factor release of PRF, we can stimulate regeneration and enhance collagen, which improves vaginal tightness, structure, and tone. Women's sexual health has been neglected in terms of research funding. Myths still surround hormone therapy and the potential hazards of Premarin. It's crucial to bust these myths and bring to light how a positive sexual experience can create a healthy feedback loop for arousal. Additionally, bioidentical hormones can rejuvenate a woman's libido, providing a more enjoyable sexual experience. Remember, women's sexual health is a significant part of overall wellbeing. There is a glaring disparity in research and treatment options, but advancements are creating ripples in the field. The journey towards better understanding of women's sexual health is ongoing, and we all need to be part of it. Join us as we continue exploring the transformative advancements in women's health. Don't let societal norms or lack of information hold you back. It's time to open our minds and invest in our sexual health, and by extension, our overall wellbeing.
