TL;DR: Using platelet additive solution (PAS) to dilute fibrinogen during long‐term cold storage of platelets (PLTs) decreases PLT activation and increases functional PLT shelf life.

TL;DR: This study sought to evaluate the effects of Intercept PRT on platelets collected on different platforms and cold‐stored for up to 21 days in plasma and platelet additive solution (PAS).

TL;DR: Human primary fibroblasts were compared to MSCs in assays designed to evaluate MSC’s to determine if these assays actually evaluate properties unique to M SCs or whether related cell types perform similarly.
12
Use of multiple potency assays to evaluate human mesenchymal stromal cells.

TL;DR: It is found that the indoleamine-2,3-dioxygenase enzyme activity assay represents a simple way to screen multiple samples and adds another facet to MSC evaluation.
