- Recent reports indicate that cryopreserved mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) may function less effectively than fresh MSCs, though cryopreservation allows for quicker access and better quality control before use.
- In our study of in-house manufactured MSCs, we found that our protocols maintain high cell viability and recovery post-thaw, although there is a notable reduction in immunosuppressive performance.
- Repeated freezing (up to two times) does not significantly compromise MSC quality, but excessive freezing (four or more times) could lead to premature aging of the cells.
