Platelet-rich plasma as a juvenile to the narrow repertoire of orthopedic medicine, has risen hope to attain a generic autologous regenerative formula for different conditions. Vast plethora of GFs, cytokines and chemokines has endowed PRP with excellent regenerative properties, however not all of them would favor different conditions. Vascular endothelial growth factor has been demonstrated to be involved in the progress of Osteoarthritis by amplifying the catabolic processes which deteriorate the extracellular matrix of cartilage. Though cumbersome, the result of eliminating VEGF from platelet lysate would be promising. VEGF isolation from platelet lysate requires selectivity. By employing... 

One of the chief kinds of receptors in cancer angiogenesis is the tyrosine kinase VEGFR-2. This target receptor is presented in both forms; active and inactive. adenosine triphosphate (ATP) residue is the location of deformational change from inactive to active form. Small molecule inhibitors have been designed for various forms of this receptor. In current study, the interaction of small molecular inhibitors including; Regorafenib, Cabozantinib and Thiosanib with dual VEGFR-2 receptor forms was investigated by molecular dynamics with Gromacs software. Cabozantinib and Regorafenib inhibitors had a lower binding energy in interaction with the inactive state however, Thiosanib inhibitors in...
