Strengths and limitations of the lyophilized platelet concentrate (LPC) [38].

Strength	1. Preservation of biological properties;
	2. Preservation of morphological architecture;
	3. Sustained release of growth factors;
	4. 100% natural and autologous;
	5. Biocompatible with other biomaterials;
	6. Multiple usages with single venipuncture;
	7. Easy Transportation;
	8. Better storage capabilities;
	9. Enables use in emergency surgery;
	10. Longer clinical shelf-life.
Limitation	1. Fabrication cost;
	2. Possible risk of contamination;
	3. Demands standardization protocol for lyophilization technique.
