We recently achieved the first-in-human transfusion of induced pluripotent stem cell-derived platelets (iPSC-PLTs) as an alternative to standard transfusions, which are dependent on donors and therefore variable in supply. However, heterogeneity characterized by thrombopoiesis-biased or immune-biased megakaryocytes (MKs) continues to pose a bottleneck against the standardization of iPSC-PLT manufacturing. To address this problem, here we employ microRNA (miRNA) switch biotechnology to distinguish subpopulations of imMKCLs, the MK cell lines producing iPSC-PLTs.

Human adipose-derived stem cells (hASCs) play important roles in regenerative medicine and tissue engineering. However, their clinical applications are limited because of their instability during cell culture. Platelet lysates (PLTs) contain large amounts of growth factors that are useful for manufacturing cellular products.

The production of platelets from induced pluripotent cells (iPSCs) may offer a safer and sustainable alternative for transfusions and drug delivery systems (DDS). However, the mass production of the clinically required number of iPSC-derived platelets (iPSC-PLTs) is challenging. Here, we introduce recent technologies for mass production and the first-in-human clinical trial using iPSC-PLTs.

Platelet extracellular vesicles (PEVs) are an emerging delivery vehi for anticancer drugs due to their ability to target and remain in the tumor microenvironment. However, there is still a lack of understanding regarding yields, safety, drug loading efficiencies, and efficacy of PEVs. In this study, various methods were compared to generate PEVs from clinical-grade platelets, and their properties were examined as vehicles for doxorubicin (DOX).

Platelet transfusion is a common clinical approach to providing platelets to patients suffering from thrombocytopenia or other ailments that require an additional platelet source. However, a stable supply of platelet products is challenged by aging societies, pandemics, and other factors. Many groups have made extensive efforts toward the in vitro generation of platelets for clinical application.
