CNS axonal regeneration within peripheral nerve grafts cryopreserved by vitrification: cytological and functional aspects.

Summary

The data indicate that nerves cryopreserved with the protocols contain viable Schwann cells which constitute a suitable support to induce regeneration of central fibers. The effectiveness of nerve cryopreservation by vitrification is discussed with regard to Schwann cell viability following cool-warm protocols and to subsequent reinnervation of the cryopreserved peripheral nerve grafts.
