First seen Apr 09, 2026 · Last updated May 24, 2026 · Updated 7 times

Summary

This study tests a new way to track platelets after a transfusion using biotin (vitamin B7) and a small amount of radioactive material. Healthy volunteers donate their own platelets, which are labeled with biotin, stored for 3 days, then given back with a radioactive tag. Follow-up blood draws measure how long the platelets survive in the body.
