Abstract
Platelet-rich plasma centrifuged from anticoagulated human and rat venous blood was maintained at 0[degree]C for various times and then warmed to 37[degree]C and maintained for several periods of time. The appearance of reformed microtubules and incomplete C-shaped or hook-shaped microtubules supports the theory that microtubules polymerize by the aggregation of subunits.This publication has 10 references indexed in Scilit:
