Abstract
UNLABELLED: Platelet-rich plasmas (PRPs) are used in a variety of clinical applications, based on the premise that higher growth factor content should promote better healing. In this study, we have determined the effects of calcium and thrombin on the release of EGF, TGF-alpha, IGF-1, Ang-2 and IL-1beta from PRPs, and assessed the mitogenic potential of PRP supernatants on osteoblast and endothelial cell division. ELISA assays indicate that (i) mean growth factor concentrations vary from traces (TGF-alpha) to 5.5 ng/mL (IGF-1), (ii) there are significant variations in growth factor concentrations between individuals, and (iii) calcium and thrombin regulate growth factor release, synthesis, and/or degradation in stereotyped patterns that are specific to each growth factor. PRP supernatants promote strong osteoblast and endothelial cell divisions, supporting the concept that PRPs may be beneficial in wound healing.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
