Accelerating cryoprotectant diffusion kinetics improves cryopreservation of pancreatic islets
Abstract Cryopreservation offers the potential to increase the availability of pancreatic islets for treatment of diabetic patients. However, current protocols, which use dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), lead to poor cryosurvival of islets. We demonstrate that equilibration of mouse islets with small mole...
