Preservation of biomaterial in the dry state at room temperature is a novel approach to meeting the growing demand for human mammalian cells in regenerative medicine. Presently, many proteins, bacteria, pharmaceutical drugs, and foods are successfully preserved in the dried state. However, mammalian cells are desiccation sensitive and cannot be stabilized in the dried state without the use of biotechnology. Several techniques have been developed to overcome this challenge including the introduction of sugars into the cells. To date there has been encouraging, but limited, success in the development of techniques for the desiccation and dry storage of human platelets and sperm cells.

Insulin is a key hormone in controlling nutrient (glucose and fatty acids) homeostasis, as well as modulating both their uptake and metabolism by peripheral target tissues, such as skeletal muscle and adipose tissue. Insulin injection can partially mimic endogenous hormone function, although it does not avoid the appearance of secondary complications such as retinopathy, nephropathy, neuropathy, and cardiovascular disorders. Implantation of de novo insulin-producing cells in the organism could be a long-term solution in the treatment of the disease, restoring the lost function. Transplantation of highly pure isolated islets (pancreatic cell clusters where β-cells are located) from cadaveric donors is a possibility, although there are still many problems to resolve, such as immune rejection, low isolation ...","PeriodicalId":51233,"journal":{"name":"Cell Preservation Technology","volume":"4 1","pages":"278-289"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1089/CPT.2006.9997","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"60915105","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We investigated the use of the flavonoid, quercetin, with a standard skim milk extender for storage of stallion spermatozoa to prevent premature capacitation and acrosome reaction and to reduce the damage to spermatozoa from lipid peroxidation. Several concentrations of quercetin (0.05, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3 mM) were mixed with skim milk-glucose extender, and the antioxidant effectiveness was assessed using xanthine–xanthine oxidase challenge for 21 h. The effect of quercetin on capacitation status of sperm was assessed during a 4 h incubation at 33°C, and a storage trial at 5°C for 6 days. In addition, the ability of sperm stored in quercetin extender to undergo capacitation and acrosome reaction was assessed using heparin and A23187.

The hepatocytes were suspended in a diluted hepatocyte culture medium (medium:dH2O = 1:2) with 0.4 M trehalose during thermal treatments. A significant amount of cytoplasmic trehalose (0.07 M) was detected using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) after heating hepatocytes to 39°C for 10 min in trehalose-supplemented medium. High cell viability (approximately 90%) was retained. The cytoplasmic trehalose concentration reached a plateau (approximately 0.16 M) after heating for 1–2 h. However, the cell viability decreased significantly after 30 min of heating (< approximately 72%). It was further found that by repetitive heating between 0°C and 39°C every 10 min for 1 h (0–39°C, 1 h), high cell viability (approximately 83%) could be maintained and a high cytoplasmic trehalose concentration (approximately 0.13 M) could be obtained.
