Description
Thierry Burnouf reviews how blood platelets might be used to treat diseases that break down the brain, in a piece published in 2025. Platelets are best known for helping blood clot, but they also carry growth factors, immune signals, and tiny parcels that can cross into the brain. In that sense, they act a bit like nerve cells in the blood.
Burnouf describes how fluid made from human platelets has helped in early animal studies of Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, brain injury, and ALS. The fluid carries factors that support cell survival and calm harmful swelling. He also covers safety, quality, and rule-based hurdles that stand before clinic use. The review presents platelet products as a low-cost path worth more study.
