Abstract
Autologous conditioned serum (ACS) is a blood-derived product that is prepared by the incubation of whole blood with medical-grade glass beads, resulting in serum enrichment in interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1Ra), anti-inflammatory cytokines (IL-4, IL-10, and IL-13), and high concentrations of growth factors. ACS has shown qualitatively and quantitatively better therapeutic effects than most established pharmacological treatments and surgery for joint diseases given its ability to both target the inflammatory cascade to decrease cartilage destruction as well as improve endogenous repair mechanisms. ACS application is simple and safe with limited adverse effects. This article reviews the role of ACS in degenerative joint disease, in addition to other inflammatory and autoimmune diseases, given its regenerative and immune-modulating properties.
期刊介绍：
Growth Factors is an international and interdisciplinary vehicle publishing new knowledge and findings on the regulators of cell proliferation, differentiation and survival. The Journal will publish research papers, short communications and reviews on current developments in cell biology, biochemistry, physiology or pharmacology of growth factors, cytokines or hormones which improve our understanding of biology or medicine. Among the various fields of study topics of particular interest include: •Stem cell biology •Growth factor physiology •Structure-activity relationships •Drug development studies •Clinical applications
