At Lomonosov Moscow State University (MSU), a method for freezing human cells has been improved by stabilizing their membrane with cholesterol. This was reported by the university's press service.
The modernized technology will increase cell survival during cryopreservation.
This procedure is often used in biology and medicine to preserve cells and tissues. However, the freeze-thaw process can lead to the death of more than 50% of cells.
The new method involves delivering cholesterol to cells using cyclodextrins - oligosaccharides. The developers have created a biocompatible nanocontainer that increases the dose of the delivered component by 10 times. This approach will allow for more efficient storage of biomaterial in cryobanks.
