The average abundance of the selected miRNAs in platelets was calculated using the qPCR data (Figure 2). The platelet contribution of the individual thrombomiRs to plasma levels was estimated based on the average rise from PPP to PRP (qPCR data, Figure 2). **** Very high, *** high, ** low, * very low, and - not detected/no platelet contribution.
