These MPs are involved in several biological processes and diseases. MPs have also been detected in blood products; however, their role in transfused patients is unknown. The purpose of this study was to characterize those MPs in blood bank conditions.blood product storagemicroparticlesproteomicsred blood cellstransfusionPlatelet-Derived MicroparticlesPhosphatidylserine ExposureEndothelial MicroparticlesClinical-ImplicationsDiabetic-RetinopathyHuman ErythrocytesLipid RaftsStorageMembraneVesiclestext::journal::journal article::research article
