Summary

Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) is widely used but in high concentrations adversely affects cell functioning. Compatible solutes were therefore used to reduce DMSO concentration. L-proline and ectoine showed potential and could be used as additional cryoprotective agents that improve the cryopreservation of human endothelial cells in the presence of low DMSO concentration.
