Cryopreservation of Cellular Therapies: Is There a Better Way?


Alla Danilkovitch, RN, MS, PhD

Alla Danilkovitch, PhD discusses cellular products and their use in wound healing. Dr Danilkovitch further
examines challenges facing their extraction, their successful storage and the best methods discovered to
date.

You can see other cells will influence what cells produce, metrics proteins, growth factors and cytokines in

So, here’s another very important for wound treatment example that placental tissues covering baby provide a

see your regular suspects, so this one, very well known, practically present in all chronic wound.

So, it’s not only in vitro experiments that you can detect this antimicrobial activity in the Petri dish. What is very

this is old method. A lot of pharmaceutical drugs, they are lyophilized because in the dry state, you can store
them for a long time. Food industry uses a lot of lyophilization. So, you know that you can buy a lyophilized
food. You can take it with you in the mountain and then you can reconstitute it and you can eat this food.

[20:05]

So, it’s a good way to preserve drugs and food. And if you look carefully on the stages in lyo-preservation, so,
there are three stages. Stage number one, you freeze. That’s why this method is also known as a freeze dry.
You freeze substance what you wanted to lyophilize. And then, when your water is solid, you do a next stage.
You evaporate water and you do it by transient water from solid to gas without liquid phase. So, this is primary
drying and then you do secondary drying to remove residual water.
