Abstract

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a concentrated product of autologous plasma platelets. It promotes the repair of tissues with low healing potential by providing supraphysiological amounts of essential growth factors and has recently become more popular in endometrial repair, achieving exciting clinical results. PRP treatment has proven to improve fertility outcomes in patients with a poor endometrial environment. However, the mechanism is not yet clear. Previous preclinical models also showed that PRP treatment decreased the expression of inflammatory markers and fibrosis, increased the endometrial proliferation rate and gene expression, and enhanced the pregnancy rate. The modulation of the endometrial immune environment and endometrial microbial community by PRP treatment appeared to be the key mechanism by which it improved endometrial receptivity. This review summarized the potential of adult PRP based on its composition and applications and the biological mechanisms and biological modifications in the endometrium after PRP instillation in preclinical models.
