3D ultrastructural analysis of α‐granule, dense granule, mitochondria, and canalicular system arrangement in resting human platelets

Abstract Background State‐of‐the‐art 3‐dimensional (3D) electron microscopy approaches provide a new standard for the visualization of human platelet ultrastructure. Application of these approaches to platelets rapidly fixed prior to purification to minimize activation should provide new insights in...
