Abstract
The clinical success of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is constrained by its limited mechanical strength, rapid disintegration by lytic enzymes, and the consequent short-term release of bioactive growth factors (GFs). Recently, attempts to formulate PRP and other hemoderivatives, such as platelet lysate (PL) have been underway. The current study aimed to formulate allogeneic freeze-dried human platelet lysate (HPL) onto lyophilized chitosan - dipotassium hydrogen orthophosphate (CS/DHO) thermo-sensitive scaffolds. A systemic approach was employed to optimize freeze-drying (FD) procedures targeting predefined critical quality attributes (CQAs). Thermal behavior, vibrational spectroscopy, morphological and moisture content analyses were used to detect possible protein destabilization during formulation and suboptimal cake properties. The effect of CS/DHO concentrations on thermo-responsiveness and release kinetics were investigated. Finally, six-months stability and cytotoxicity studies were carried out. An optimized lyophilizate was attainable with residual moisture of less than 5% and thermoresponsive to 33 °C in less than 3 min. HPL proteins were sustainedly released over five days in a pH-sensitive manner. The stability study indicated plausible physical and biochemical stability. Cell viability testing supported the cytocompatibility of the system. Finally, the lyophilizate variant of CS/DHO thermogel overcomes limited storage stability previously posed as a challenge in freshly prepared thermogels. The developed system overcomes the drawbacks of currently used PRP treatment and provides a novel GF-rich scaffold for wound repair.

Abstract
![]()
Solution-phase hydrogen/deuterium
exchange (HDX) coupled to mass
spectrometry (MS) is a widespread tool for structural analysis across
academia and the biopharmaceutical industry. By monitoring the exchangeability
of backbone amide protons, HDX-MS can reveal information about higher-order
structure and dynamics throughout a protein, can track protein folding
pathways, map interaction sites, and assess conformational states
of protein samples. The combination of the versatility of the hydrogen/deuterium
exchange reaction with the sensitivity of mass spectrometry has enabled
the study of extremely challenging protein systems, some of which
cannot be suitably studied using other techniques. Improvements over
the past three decades have continually increased throughput, robustness,
and expanded the limits of what is feasible for HDX-MS investigations.
To provide an overview for researchers seeking to utilize and derive
the most from HDX-MS for protein structural analysis, we summarize
the fundamental principles, basic methodology, strengths and weaknesses,
and the established applications of HDX-MS while highlighting new
developments and applications.

Abstract
Despite the boom in biologics over the past decade, the intrinsic instability of these large molecules poses significant challenges to formulation development. Almost half of all pharmaceutical protein products are formulated in the solid form to preserve protein native structure and extend product shelf-life. In this review, both traditional and emerging drying techniques for producing protein solids will be discussed. During the drying process, various stresses can impact the stability of protein solids. However, understanding the impact of stress on protein product quality can be challenging due to the lack of reliable characterization techniques for biological solids. Both conventional and advanced characterization techniques are discussed including differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), solid-state Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (ssFTIR), solid-state fluorescence spectrometry, solid-state hydrogen deuterium exchange (ssHDX), solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (ssNMR) and solid-state photolytic labeling (ssPL). Advanced characterization tools may offer mechanistic investigations into local structural changes and interactions at higher resolutions. The continuous exploration of new drying techniques, as well as a better understanding of the effects caused by different drying techniques in solid state, would advance the formulation development of biological products with superior quality.

Abstract
Lyophilization stabilizes formulated biologics for storage, transport and application to patients. In process design and operation it is the link between downstream processing and with final formulation to fill and finish. Recent activities in Quality by Design (QbD) have resulted in approaches by regulatory authorities and the need to include Process Analytical Technology (PAT) tools. An approach is outlined to validate a predictive physical-chemical (rigorous) lyophilization process model to act quantitatively as a digital twin in order to allow accelerated process design by modeling and to further-on develop autonomous process optimization and control towards real time release testing. Antibody manufacturing is chosen as a typical example for actual biologics needs. Literature is reviewed and the presented procedure is exemplified to quantitatively and consistently validate the physical-chemical process model with aid of an experimental statistical DOE (design of experiments) in pilot scale.

Abstract
The reversibility of solid-state hydrogen-deuterium exchange (ssHDX) and the effects of prehydration on the rate and extent of deuterium incorporation were evaluated using poly-d,l-alanine (PDLA) peptides colyophilized with various excipients. In prehydration studies, samples were equilibrated at a controlled relative humidity (6% or 11% RH) for 12 h and then transferred to corresponding D2O humidity conditions (6% or 11% RD) for deuterium labeling. In amorphous samples, the rate and extent of deuterium incorporation were similar in prehydrated samples and controls not subjected to prehydration. In reversibility studies, PDLA samples were maximally deuterated in controlled D2O humidity conditions (6% or 11% RD) and then transferred to corresponding H2O relative humidity (0%, 6%, 11%, or 43% RH). Hysteresis in deuterium removal was observed when compared with the deuterium incorporation kinetics for all formulations and conditions, confirming that the reaction is reversible in the solid state and that the forward and reverse processes differ. The extent of deuterium loss reached a plateau that depended on the delabeling relative humidity. Reverse reaction rate constants were quantified using a first-order kinetic model, a limiting case of the reversible first-order model applicable under sink conditions. For other conditions, plateau (steady-state) deuteration levels were related to forward and reverse rate constants in a reversible first-order kinetic model. The results support a mechanistic interpretation of ssHDX kinetics as a reversible first-order process, in which the forward (deuteration) rate depends on the activity of the deuterium donor.
