STIMULATING PLATELET GENERATION BY ACTIVATING MITOCHONDRIAL BIOGENESIS

摘要

A method of stimulating platelet formation using a drug that stimulates mitochondrial biogenesis is described. The drug can be used to treat a subject that has been diagnosed with thrombocytopenia or a relatively low platelet count, or it can be used to stimulate platelet generation in vitro or ex vivo. Low-level light (LLL) therapy can be used together with the drug to stimulate mitochondrial biogenesis.
