Summary

This study looked at whether platelets (blood cells that help clotting) treated with a special light-based system can survive in the body after being stored for 5 days. Healthy adults donated their own platelets, which were treated and then given back to them. The goal was to measure how many platelets survived and how long they lasted compared to fresh platelets.
