Adipose Derived-Mesenchymal Stem Cells Viability and Differentiating Features for Orthopaedic Reparative Applications: Banking of Adipose Tissue

Figure 5

Cryopreservation at −80°C and −196°C guaranteed viability of adipose tissue and ATD-MSCs. The percentages of viability of adipose tissue normalized on fresh sample are reported (a). 7-AAD staining showed a significant increase of dead cells in cryopreserved compared to fresh samples, , but there was not any difference between the two temperatures of cryopreservation (b).
