Summary

Successful cryopreservation of tissues will ultimately require a more detailed understanding of how the in situ environment modifies cell responses during cooling and warming. Low temperature responses of porcine split-thickness skin and isolated basal keratinocytes were compared after various cooling protocols and in the presence and absence of cryoprotectants. Recommendation from this study is that high recovery of split-thickness skin may be achieved with protocols using high cooling rates.
