Regenerative Research Roundup - September 2026
Welcome to the Regenerative Research Roundup, where we look through recently published research and bring you the best of the best in quick-to-read digest. This month, we explore: Comparing the clinical efficacy of PRP and Hyaluronic acid in knee OA PRP + HA combination therapy showing improved pain and function up to 24 post injection The effects of a high-molecular weight and linear HA on synovial fluid and joint environment Comparing year-long outcomes outcomes with leuko

The Relationship between PRP Dose, Volume, and Concentration. What Matters.
Platelet dose is the driver of clinical outcomes in PRP: the absolute number of platelets delivered to the tissue, not the multipliers on label. Volume matters because how much blood you draw, ultimately decides how much material is being processed and caps your dosing. In contrast, how much you inject dictates whether that same dose is adequately saturating the tissue you’re injecting. Dose is the variable that tracks with outcome Back when PRP first came onto the scene,

Regenerative Research Roundup – July 2026
Welcome to the Regenerative Research Roundup, where we look through recently published research and bring you the best of the best in a quick-to-read digest. This month, we explore: A network meta-analysis of 18 RCTs asking which PRP add-on actually earns its place: HA, stem cells, or ozone A real-world head-to-head where a non-crosslinked, hybrid-MW HA held its own in two injections against three of PRP A meta-analysis of 16 trials confirming that PRP+HA pulls ahead of PRP a

Regenerative Research Roundup – June 2026
Welcome to the Regenerative Research Roundup, where we look through recently published research and bring you the best of the best in a quick-to-read digest. This month, we explore: A head-to-head RCT on whether ultra-high molecular weight and cross-linking buy greater pain relief than high MW HA or saline in knee OA A fragility index–based meta-analysis on PRP and return to sport after acute muscle injury, including the platelet doses behind the systems used A practical over

Lessons from Innovations in Orthobiologics
MD Biologix recently hosted the Innovations in Orthobiologics Lunch Symposium, the first in what will be an annual event in the Canadian sports medicine calendar. Led by Dr. Nathan Thakur at Regenerative MD alongside Dr. Kaila Holtz, Dr. Marni Wesner and Dr Grant Pagdin, the day brought together Canadian experts to share their experience using orthobiologics. How do we move in this “minefield of variables”, towards one defined by standardization? Across platelet-rich plasm
