Cryopreserved cell treatments could become safer for patients.
A new method has been developed to remove a chemical called DMSO from frozen cell products. DMSO is used to preserve cells, but it can cause problems when the cells are infused back into the body. By washing the cells after thawing, the researchers found that they could reduce the risk of complications from the DMSO. This method could help improve the safety of cell transplants in the future.
