@pintofscienceau All donated platelets are different and one might store better than others. I study the effect of painkillers, BMI on platelet quality and aim trying to find the best platelet donor with the best quality product. #ThisIsMyScience #OurBody
@pintofscienceau If you know how #platelets work you can store them longer & better and design new
