Summary
The production of lab-generated human platelets is necessary to meet present and future transfusion needs. This manuscript will identify and define the major roadblocks that must be overcome to make human platelet production possible for clinical use, and propose solutions necessary to accelerate development of lab-generated human platelets to market.
