Platelets are essentially recognized for their primary function of ensuring discontinuation of bleeding when tissue damage occurs. Another important function that day by day acquires greater relevance is the one related to its use like therapeutic agent directed to stimulate the cellular proliferation and the cicatrización the tissue.
