Fig. 2From: Systems biology as an emerging paradigm in transfusion medicineCharacterizing RBC storage conditions. Baseline characterization and perturbation experiments on stored RBCs. Perturbation experiments examined the effect of (1) alternative media formulations, (2) supplementation with additional sugars, (3) addition of adenine to the media, and (4) a change in storage temperature. An additional set of experiments (5) yielded a robust set of storage-age biomarkersBack to article page
