Davidson, Olivia | Utilizing synthetic biology to improve platelet transfusion outcomes | Platelets are essential to blood clotting. Due to a high risk of bacterial infection, donor platelets have short shelf -lives. As a result, being able to maintain a constant supply of platelets in vitro would be clinically valuable. This could be accomplished by using synthetic biology to guide stem... | Blood platelets - Transfusion - Research; Stem cells - Therapeutic use; Synthetic biology; Hematopoietic stem cells; Erthropoientin | 2016-05 |
