This study developed a lyophilization procedure for human platelets, enabling long-term storage at room temperature. This method preserves platelet function and offers convenient transport for emergency medical needs.

Area of Science:

  • Biotechnology
  • Hematology
  • Cryobiology

Context:

  • Platelet storage and transport are critical for emergency medicine.
  • Current methods for platelet preservation have limitations in terms of storage duration and temperature requirements.
  • Developing room-temperature stable platelets would significantly improve accessibility.

Purpose:

  • To establish a viable procedure for lyophilizing human platelets.
  • To assess the functional recovery and stability of lyophilized platelets.
  • To enable long-term, room-temperature storage and transport of platelets.

Summary:

  • Human platelets were lyophilized using cryoprotectants (DMSO, trehalose) and reversible activation-inhibitors.
  • Recovered platelets showed a 56.29% recovery rate, with preserved aggregation and coagulation functions compared to fresh platelet-rich plasma (FPRP).

  • Lyophilization with inhibitors reduced activation marker expression (CD62p, PAC-1) and maintained functional integrity.

    • Impact:

    • This freeze-drying technique offers a promising solution for long-term platelet storage at normal temperatures.
    • The improved stability and reduced size/weight enhance portability for remote or emergency settings.
    • This advancement could revolutionize transfusion medicine in critical care, trauma, and military applications.
