Article Synopsis
- - We studied the differences between fresh and cryopreserved hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) from human livers, focusing on their growth and characteristics after isolation from patients with liver cancer.
- - Various techniques, including microscopy and gene expression analysis, were used to compare the morphology and functionality of both types of HSCs, revealing that their growth rates and specific markers were similar across passages.
- - The findings indicate that a reliable method for freezing and thawing human primary cultured HSCs was successfully developed, maintaining their essential characteristics.
