Article Synopsis
- The Bioartificial Liver (BAL) is an extracorporeal support system designed for patients with liver dysfunction, utilizing alginate encapsulated liver spheroids (AELS).
- A study evaluated the toxicity of the cryoprotectant DMSO on AELS during cryopreservation, finding that a 12% DMSO concentration was safe while exposure to 40% DMSO was toxic at higher temperatures.
- The research also established an effective washing process to remove DMSO after thawing, ensuring the BAL is safe and viable for clinical use.
