Scientists at Brigham and Women's hospital (BWH) has developed a new generation bioreactor to generate fully functional human platelets in vitro.
As said the study's author Jonathan Tone: "the Ability to generate an alternative source of functional human platelets with virtually no disease transmission represents a paradigm shift in how we receive platelets, which enable us to meet the growing need for blood transfusion". According to experts not involved in the development of new technology, "platelets obtained from the reactor, theoretically have several advantages compared to conventional donor blood components, in terms of security and resource use".
The application of shear forces of blood flow in the bioreactor caused a significant increase in platelets from 10 to 90 percent. According to the head of research Joseph Italiano: "a device was Developed, which successfully simulated the function of the bone marrow represents a crucial bridge connecting our understanding of the physiological triggers of platelet formation to support drug development and scale platelet production".
