Wound healing is one of the most complex biological events, involving physiological
processes such as tissue restoration and intricate cellular and molecular activities. The
aim of this study was to investigate the effects of Autologous Cytokine Rich Serum
(ACRS) and Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) on wound healing and to compare their impact
on tissue repair using histopathological and immunohistochemical methods. A total
of 42 healthy Wistar-Albino rats were used as material. The histopathological and
immunohistochemical evaluations showed that ACRS is more effective than PRP
on wound healing. The superior efficacy of ACRS is attributed to its stimulation of
anti-inflammatory cytokines and provision of essential nutrients such as amino acids,
vitamins, and lipids. Further detailed studies are recommended to explore these findings.
