Abstract
Platelet‐rich plasma (PRP), due to its promising therapeutic properties, has been used in regenerative medicine for more than 30 years and numerous encouraging outcomes have been obtained. Currently, by benefiting from new insights into PRP mechanisms and the excellent performance of extracellular vesicles (EVs) in the field of tissue repair and regeneration, studies have found that a large number of EVs released from activated platelets also participate in the regulation of tissue repair. A growing number of preclinical studies are exploring the functions of PRP‐derived EVs (PRP‐EVs), especially in tissue regeneration. Here, we summarize the latest progress in PRP‐EVs as a superior alternative cell‐free therapeutic strategy in regenerative medicine, clarify their underlying molecular mechanisms, and discuss the advantages and limitations of the upcoming clinical applications. This review highlights the potential of PRP‐EVs to replace the application of PRP or even become a superior alternative in regenerative medicine.
