Thanks Sue. PRP is "Plasma Rich Something? - what does the last "R" stand for?

Advances in non-surgical treatments are happening fast (hopefully that continues). Plasma and Stem-Cell derived treatments seem to hold much promise.

PRP is Plasma-rich Protein - they treat your own plasma to produce it, so transfusion risks are limited. Here is a description:
