An original ex vivo wounded skin culture protocol using autologous Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) and enriched Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle’s Medium demonstrated a favourable modulation of the epithelial cells and fibroblasts proliferation, a relevant antiinflammatory action and a favourable modulation of the re-organization of collagen and elastic fibres. The step by step regenerative effects of PRP on human skin wound repair and regeneration process was observed over a period of 10 days.
