Ex Vivo Platelet Optimization in Microfluidic Bioreactors
Platelets play a critical role in maintaining homeostasis, as well as in managing inflammation and wound healing. However, there is a dearth of platelets for therapeutic treatments as they are obtained primarily via donation, have a shelf-life of approximately 5 days, and contain risk for contamination. Despite advances in generating megakaryocytes (Mks) from hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs), ex vivo platelet generation fails to produce a quantity similar to that obtained via plateletpheresis. As such, I have researched the optimization of ex vivo platelet production to address this growing need.
