In this study, TSs were shown to have nonfunctional mitochondria. ROTEM measures revealed that the TSs had no impact on clot strength. Likewise, compared to platelets, the TSs displayed minimal aggregation, had significantly more phosphatidylserine (measure of activation status), but had the ability to adhere to a collagen surface under flow conditions and contribute to clot formation and induced greater thrombin generation.
