a: Growth factor ~
b: espresso shots for cells
What: "Growth factors are like espresso shots for cells. A cell works at a certain pace to do its job. If we add growth factors (like those in PRP), it's like buying all of the cells trying to repair the area a bunch of Starbucks gift cards. The cells react to the growth factors like people react to triple espresso shots, they work harder and faster. So if we use an example of a construction site, where we have a few brick layers building a new wall, if we add growth factors, our brick layers will build our wall faster."

a: Nuclease ~
b: sent of your house
What: "The Nuclease is like the sent of your house. The sent of your house is like your DNA, like if you and your family smells like flowers then your house will likely smell flowers!"Nuclease specificity is like smell. Your nose can identify many different molecules based on their scent. Nucleases are enzymes with specificity for a particular sequence of nucleotides.
