Background: Refrigeration, or cold-storage, of platelets may be beneficial to extend the limited shelf-life of conventionally stored platelets and support transfusion protocols in rural and military areas. The aim of this study was to compare the morphologic, metabolic, and functional aspects of apheresis platelets stored at room-temperature (RT) or cold conditions, in either plasma or supplemented with platelet additive solution (PAS).
Study Design And Methods: Double-dose apheresis platelets were collected in either 100% plasma or 40% plasma/60% PAS-E using the Trima apheresis platform. One component from each group was either stored at RT (20-24°C) or refrigerated (2-6°C). Platelets were tested over a 21-day period.
Results: The platelet concentration decreased by approximately 30% in all groups during 21 days of storage (p > .05). Cold-storage reduced glycolytic metabolism, and the pH was maintained above the minimum specification (>6.4) for 21 days only when platelets were stored in PAS. The surface phenotype and the composition of the supernatant were differentially affected by temperature and storage solution. Functional responses (aggregation, agonist-induced receptor activation, clotting time) were improved during cold-storage, and the influence of residual plasma was assay dependent.
Conclusion: In vitro platelet quality is differentially affected by storage time, temperature, and solution. Cold-storage, particularly in PAS, better maintains key metabolic, phenotypic, and functional parameters during prolonged storage.

Background: Chronic graft-vs-host disease (cGvHD) is a severe immune-mediated complication that affects patients following allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). Oral manifestations of cGvHD, such as ulcers and mucosal inflammation, significantly impair quality of life and often require long-term treatment. Existing therapies provide limited relief, prompting the exploration of new approaches, including the use of autologous platelet lysate (PL) gel for its regenerative properties.

Transfusion of platelet concentrates (PC) can be a life-saving measure in case of severe thrombocytopenia or thrombocytopathy, particularly in bleeding patients. Although acaryote, platelets are involved in several important functions including immunomodulation, but their most important function is in primary and secondary haemostasis. In this German review, apheresis and whole blood derived PC are compared and indications as well as transfusion triggers and dosage of PC are discussed.

Background: Extracorporeal photopheresis (ECP) product characteristics are not well established. The aim of this study was to compare mononuclear cells (MNCs) collection using the new Amicus blue (AB) In-line ECP system to our standard Off-line ECP system using the Optia apheresis device and the MacoGenic G2 inactivation system (OM).
Study Design And Methods: We assessed the ECP products and procedure parameters, patient characteristics, and adverse events for both AB and OM systems in paired patients.

Background And Objectives: The most widely used method of platelet cryopreservation requires the addition of 5%-6% dimethylsulphoxide (DMSO), followed by its pre-freeze removal via centrifugation, to minimize toxicity. However, this adds complexity to the pre-freeze and post-thaw processing. Accordingly, the aim of this study was to simplify platelet cryopreservation by reducing the DMSO concentration and omitting the requirement for pre-transfusion removal.
