PRP in Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and ALS: What the Research Really Shows in 2026

Platelet-based preparations are being investigated in cellular and animal models of neurodegenerative diseases. However, PRP, PRGF, platelet lysate, secretome and extracellular vesicles are not the same. This evidence review separates preclinical findings from human data and examines what can actually be concluded for Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and ALS as of September 1, 2026.

PRP Exosomes and Extracellular Vesicles: What the Research Shows

What does science actually tell us about so-called PRP exosomes? This professional article examines platelet-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs), current MISEV2023 terminology, separation and characterization, the available evidence, safety considerations and the regulatory framework. Preclinical findings are clearly distinguished from clinically established applications.

KIPIC Needles for PRP: Sizes, Selection Criteria and 34G × 8 mm Compared

Which KIPIC needle is suitable for a specific PRP protocol? This guide explains the differences between 25G and 34G needles, compares lengths from 4 to 42 mm and shows why the finest needle is not automatically the best choice. It includes a technical size comparison, information on flow resistance and viscosity, and a dedicated section on the new KIPIC 34G × 8 mm for suitable microinjection techniques.

Matching PRP Tubes and Centrifuges: Compatibility, Settings and Protocol

Which PRP tubes are compatible with which centrifuge? This article explains RCF, RPM, rotor radius, balancing and documentation using Vi PRP-PRO tubes and the Hettich EBA 200 MD as a reference. Reference setting: 1,200 × g for 7 minutes, equivalent to approximately 3,500 rpm at an 86 mm rotor radius. Current manufacturer instructions and IFUs remain binding.

PRP Preparation in Hair Medicine: Tubes, RCF and Centrifugation

PRP is not a single standardized preparation. Tube system, anticoagulant, rotor radius, RCF, centrifugation time and cellular composition can influence the resulting PRP. This specialist article explains why PRP studies in hair medicine are only partly comparable, why RCF is more informative than RPM alone and which preparation parameters medical professionals should document.

Ovarian Insufficiency and PRP Therapy

Intraovarian PRP is being investigated in women with diminished ovarian reserve, poor ovarian response and POI. This evidence review examines current randomized trials, meta-analyses and guidelines, distinguishes POI, DOR and POR, and explains why changes in AMH or AFC should not automatically be equated with improved pregnancy or live-birth outcomes.
