Abstract
The importance of cryopreservation in tissue engineering is unceasingly increasing. Preparation, cryopreservation, and storage of tissue-engineered constructs (TECs) at an on-site location offer a convenient way for their clinical application and commercialization. Partial freezing initiated at high sub-zero temperatures using ice-nucleating agents (INAs) has recently been applied in organ cryopreservation. It is anticipated that this freezing technique may be efficient for the preservation of both scaffold mechanical properties and cell viability of TECs. Infrared thermography is an instrumental method to monitor INAs-mediated freezing of various biological entities. In this paper, porous collagen-hydroxyapatite (HAP) scaffolds were fabricated and characterized as model TECs, whereas infrared thermography was proposed as a method for monitoring the crystallization-related events on their partial freezing down to -25 °C. Intra- and interscaffold latent heat transmission were descriptively evaluated. Nucleation, freezing points as well as the degree of supercooling and duration of crystallization were calculated based on inspection of respective thermographic curves. Special consideration was given to the cryoprotective agent (CPA) composition (Snomax®, crude leaf extract from Hippophae rhamnoides, dimethyl sulfoxide (Me2SO) and recombinant type-III antifreeze protein (AFP)) and freezing conditions ('in air' or 'in bulk CPA'). For CPAs without ice nucleation activity, thermographic measurements demonstrated that the supercooling was significantly milder in the case of scaffolds present in a CPA solution compared to that without them. This parameter (ΔT, °C) altered with the following tendency: 10 Me2SO (2.90 ± 0.54 ('in air') vs. 7.71 ± 0.43 ('in bulk CPA', P < 0.0001)) and recombinant type-III AFP, 0.5 mg/ml (2.65 ± 0.59 ('in air') vs. 7.68 ± 0.34 ('in bulk CPA', P < 0.0001)). At the same time, in CPA solutions with ice nucleation activity the least degree of supercooling and the longest crystallization duration (Δt, min) for scaffolds frozen 'in air' were documented for crude leaf homogenate (CLH) from Hippophae rhamnoides (1.57 ± 0.37 °C and 21.86 ± 2.93 min compared to Snomax, 5 μg/ml (2.14 ± 0.33 °C and 23.09 ± 0.05), respectively). The paper offers evidence that infrared thermography provides insightful information for monitoring partial freezing events in TECs when using different freezing containers, CPAs and conditions. This may further TEC-specific cryopreservation and optimization of CPA compositions with slow-nucleating properties.

Abstract
Bone tissue engineering strategy involves the 3D scaffolds and appropriate cell types promoting the replacement of the damaged area. In this work, we aimed to develop a fast and reliable clinically relevant protocol for engineering viable bone grafts, using cryopreserved adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) and composite 3D collagen-nano-hydroxyapatite (nanoHA) scaffolds. Xeno- and DMSO-free cryopreserved MSCs were perfusion-seeded into the biomimetic collagen/nanoHA scaffolds manufactured by cryotropic gelation and their osteoregenerative potential was assessed in vitro and in vivo. Cryopreserved MSCs retained the ability to homogenously repopulate the whole volume of the scaffolds during 7 days of post-thaw culture. Moreover, the scaffold provided a suitable microenvironment for induced osteogenic differentiation of cells, confirmed by alkaline phosphatase activity and mineralization. Implantation of collagen-nanoHA cryogels with cryopreserved MSCs accelerated woven bone tissue formation, maturation of bone trabeculae, and vascularization of femur defects in immunosuppressed rats compared to cell-free collagen-nanoHA scaffolds. The established combination of xeno-free cell culture and cryopreservation techniques together with an appropriate scaffold design and cell repopulation approach accelerated the generation of viable bone grafts.

Abstract
Alginate as a versatile naturally occurring biomaterial has found widespread use in the biomedical field due to its unique features such as biocompatibility and biodegradability. The ability of its semipermeable hydrogels to provide a favourable microenvironment for clinically relevant cells made alginate encapsulation a leading technology for immunoisolation, 3D culture, cryopreservation as well as cell and drug delivery. The aim of this work is the evaluation of structural properties and swelling behaviour of the core-shell capsules for the encapsulation of multipotent stromal cells (MSCs), their 3D culture and cryopreservation using slow freezing. The cells were encapsulated in core-shell capsules using coaxial electrospraying, cultured for 35 days and cryopreserved. Cell viability, metabolic activity and cell-cell interactions were analysed. Cryopreservation of MSCs-laden core-shell capsules was performed according to parameters pre-selected on cell-free capsules. The results suggest that core-shell capsules produced from the low viscosity high-G alginate are superior to high-M ones in terms of stability during in vitro culture, as well as to solid beads in terms of promoting formation of viable self-assembled cellular structures and maintenance of MSCs functionality on a long-term basis. The application of 0.3 M sucrose demonstrated a beneficial effect on the integrity of capsules and viability of formed 3D cell assemblies, as compared to 10% dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) alone. The proposed workflow from the preparation of core-shell capsules with self-assembled cellular structures to the cryopreservation appears to be a promising strategy for their off-the-shelf availability.

Abstract
The extraordinary biocompatibility and mechanical properties of chitinous scaffolds from marine sponges endows these structures with unique properties that render them ideal for diverse biomedical applications. In the present work, a technological route to produce "ready-to-use" tissue-engineered products based on poriferan chitin is comprehensively investigated for the first time. Three key stages included isolation of scaffolds from the marine demosponge Ianthella basta, confirmation of their biocompatibility with human mesenchymal stromal cells, and cryopreservation of the tissue-like structures grown within these scaffolds using a slow cooling protocol. Biocompatibility of the macroporous, flat chitin scaffolds has been confirmed by cell attachment, high cell viability and the ability to differentiate into the adipogenic lineage. The viability of cells cryopreserved on chitin scaffolds was reduced by about 30% as compared to cells cryopreserved in suspension. However, the surviving cells were able to retain their differentiation potential; and this is demonstrated for the adipogenic lineage. The results suggest that chitin from the marine demosponge I. basta is a promising, highly biocompatible biomaterial for stem cell-based tissue-engineering applications.

Abstract
The recently discovered chitin-based scaffolds derived from poriferans have the necessary prosperities for potential use in tissue engineering. Among the various demosponges of the Verongida order, Aplysina aerophoba is an attractive target for more in-depth investigations, as it is a renewable source of unique 3D microporous chitinous scaffolds. We found these chitinous scaffolds were cytocompatible and supported attachment, growth and proliferation of human mesenchymal stromal cells (hMSCs) in vitro. Cultivation of hMSCs on the scaffolds for 7days resulted in a two-fold increase in their metabolic activity, indicating increased cell numbers. Cells cultured onto chitin scaffolds in differentiation media were able to differentiate into the chondrogenic, adipogenic and osteogenic lineages, respectively. These results indicate A. aerophoba is a novel source of chitin scaffolds to futher hMSCs-based tissue engineering strategies.

Abstract
Experimental and clinical applications of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) require the development of new approaches and improvements of existing methods of cell cryopreservation. Cryoprotective solutions for effective cell preservation usually contain 10% dimethyl sulfoxide (Me2SO) and fetal bovine serum (FBS) limiting clinical application of MSCs. We have developed a novel approach to the cryopreservation of human MSCs comprising inclusion of sugars into incubation medium for 24 hrs prior to cryopreservation (pretreatment) with their obligatory presence in cryoprotective solution. Such combined application of mannitol, lactose, sucrose, trehalose or raffinose on cultivation and cryopreservation stages resulted in a significant increase of MSCs viability. Optimal concentration of sugars for cell pretreatment was 200 mM, as an additive in cryoprotective solution - 300 mM. Highest cell viability and metabolic activity assessed by Alamar Blue test were achieved with sucrose, trehalose and raffinose. Using these sugars about 50% of pretreated cells after cryopreservation in the absence of Me2SO and FBS preserved their survival and metabolic activity. During following recultivation cryopreserved MSCs were able to attachment, proliferation and multilineage differentiation towards osteogenic and adipogenic lineages. The data obtained indicate that the approach included pretreatment of cells with sugars combined with their presence in cryoprotective solution is feasible for future regenerative medicine projects.

Abstract
Isolated liver cells (primarily isolated hepatocytes) have found important applications in science and medicine over the past 40 years in a wide range of areas, including physiological studies, investigations on liver metabolism, organ preservation and drug de-toxification, experimental and clinical transplantation. An integral component of many of these works is the need to store the isolated cells, either for short or long-term periods. This review covers the biopreservation of liver cells, with a focus on the history of liver cell biopreservation, the application of hypothermia for short-term storage, standard cryopreservation methods for isolated hepatocytes, the biopreservation of other types of liver cells, and recent developments such as vitrification of hepatocytes. By understanding the basis for the different approaches, it will be possible to select the best options for liver cell biopreservation in different applications, and identify ways to improve preservation protocols for the future.

Abstract
Human mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) can differentiate into various cell types, which makes them attractive for regenerative medicine and tissue engineering. Encapsulation of MSCs in alginate microspheres (AMS) is a novel and promising approach of tissue engineering. Application and research of such cell-hydrogel systems require selection of adequate cryopreservation protocols. In this study we investigated the response of MSCs encapsulated in AMS to different cryopreservation protocols. Bone marrow MSCs either encapsulated in AMS and or as cells in suspension, were cryopreserved with 5% and 10% of dimethyl sulfoxide (ME₂SO) using conventional 2-step slow cooling (protocol 1). The viability and metabolism of MSCs in AMS following cryopreservation with 5% Me₂SO were lower than in the group cryopreserved with 10% Me₂SO. MSCs in suspension were more resistant to cryopreservation than cells in AMS when cryopreserved with 5% Me₂SO, although when using a concentration of 10% Me₂SO, no differences were detected. Comparisons of the viability and metabolic activity of MSC cryopreserved either in AMS or as cell suspensions with 10% ME₂SO using protocol 1 (2-step cooling), protocol 2 (3-step slow cooling with induced ice nucleation) or protocol 3 (rapid 1-step freezing), showed that the highest viabilities and metabolic rates were obtained following cryopreservation of MSCs in AMS by protocol 2 (with controlled ice nucleation). Cryopreservation with protocol 3 resulted in critical damage of the encapsulated MSCs. After cryopreservation by protocol 2, AMS encapsulated MSCs were capable of achieving multilineage differentiation directed towards osteogenic, adipogenic and chondrogenic lineages. The data obtained indicate that cryo-banking of AMS encapsulated MSCs is feasible for future regenerative medicine projects.

Abstract
Abstract Effects of stem and progenitor cells or their compounds on recipient cells are investigated intensively today. In spite of this, their ability to interact with native cells and the final targets affected by them, particularly biochemical parameters that characterize cell redox-dependent processes, remain little studied. We have studied how bioregulators of stem and progenitor cells affect these processes in freshly isolated liver after animal pretreatment in vivo. Cytosol of human fetal mesenchymal-mesodermal tissues (8-10 weeks gestation) was administered intravenously; the control group was treated with Hanks' solution. After 4 hr, rats were sacrificed and their livers were isolated. To evaluate liver redox-dependent state, mitochondrial respiratory activity and nitroxyl radical and Alamar Blue™ reduction rates, mitochondrial and cytosolic glycerol kinase and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH)-dependent malate dehydrogenase activities were studied. The results obtained demonstrate that bioregulators strongly affect liver redox-dependent processes, increasing mitochondrial respiration in state III and spin probe reduction rate and enhancing Alamar Blue™ reduction by glycolytic and nonglycolytic postmitochondrial enzymes. In addition, mitochondrial glycerol kinase and both isoforms of NADH-dependent malate dehydrogenase were inhibited. These data bring us closer to understanding stem and progenitor cell effects via directed regulation of metabolic redox-dependent processes.

Abstract
SUMMARY: Organ transplantation has developed over the past 50 years to reach the sophisticated and integrated clinical service of today through several advances in science. One of the most important of these has been the ability to apply organ preservation protocols to deliver donor organs of high quality, via a network of organ exchange to match the most suitable recipient patient to the best available organ, capable of rapid resumption of life-sustaining function in the recipient patient. This has only been possible by amassing a good understanding of the potential effects of hypoxic injury on donated organs, and how to prevent these by applying organ preservation. This review sets out the history of organ preservation, how applications of hypothermia have become central to the process, and what the current status is for the range of solid organs commonly transplanted. The science of organ preservation is constantly being updated with new knowledge and ideas, and the review also discusses what innovations are coming close to clinical reality to meet the growing demands for high quality organs in transplantation over the next few years.

Abstract
In this study we evaluated mitochondrial function after liver cold storage and normothermic reperfusion. The preservation solutions were: modified University of Wisconsin (mod UW) and sucrose-based solution (SBS). After cold preservation liver was re-perfused for 1 hour in vitro with Krebs-Ringer buffer at 37 degree C. Samples of tissue were taken for ATP determination. Mitochondrial respiratory parameters, succinate oxidase complex activity, mitochondrial H+- ATPase and intramitochondrial potassium concentration were assayed. It was shown, that brief (1 hour) cold storage and subsequent normothermic reperfusion revealed no difference in liver ATP content between mod UW and SBS groups but resulted in a gradual decrease of 50 percent after 24-hour storage and reperfusion. Mitochondrial potassium ion concentration increased by 40 percent after 1-hour cold storage in the mod UW as compared to control (P value less than 0.05) and SBS. After brief cold storage ADP and uncoupler-stimulated respiration increased by 120 percent in SBS group, unlike mod UW, when succinate was used as substrate, and was more pronounced after 24 hour. Succinate oxidase complex activity did not change over either cold storage or warm reperfusion. Mitochondrial H+-ATPase activities in SBS and mod UW did not differ and both were inhibited after 24-hour cold storage. Our data demonstrate that low ionic strength preservation solution can substantially modulate mitochondrial energy turnover due to substrate oxidation increase. Many of the changes in mitochondrial function follow brief exposure to low temperatures.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Chronic liver failure results in the decrease of the number of functioning hepatocytes. It dictates the necessity of using exogenous viable cells or/and agents that can stimulate hepatic regenerative processes. Fetal liver contains both hepatic and hematopoietic stem cells with high proliferative potential, which may replace damaged cells. Also, immature cells produce fetal-specific factors which may support the injured liver. Our aim was to test the ability of human fetal liver cells and cell-free fetal-specific factors of non-hepatic origin to stimulate recovery processes in an experimental model of carbon tetrachloride-induced cirrhosis in rats. METHODS Cirrhotic rats were intrasplenically injected with fetal liver cells (1 x 10(7) cells/0.3 mL medium) or cell-free fetal-specific factors (0.3 mL/1 mg protein). Control groups received medium alone. Serum indexes, hepatic functions, and morphology were evaluated for 15 days. RESULT Human fetal liver cell transplantation was shown to abrogate the mortality of cirrhotic animals, to improve serum markers, and to restore liver mitochondrial function and detoxification. Morphological patterns of liver recovery were observed by histology. In comparison, an injection of fetal-specific factors produced similar functional recovery, whilst a more limited liver regeneration was observed by histology. CONCLUSIONS The positive effects of fetal liver cell and cell-free fetal-specific factors in experimental cirrhosis may result from the presence of stage-specific factors activating hepatocellular repair.

Abstract
We studied the effect of transplantation of fetal liver cells and postnuclear cytoplasmic fraction from human fetal soft tissues on the prooxidant-antioxidant equilibrium in the liver and blood of rats after partial hepatectomy. The preparations increased antioxidant activity and decreased the intensity of lipid peroxidation, which probably contributes to their therapeutic effects.

Abstract
Investigations were carried out on the respiratory function of isolated rat hepatocytes after cold storage alone for periods up to 48 h in either sucrose-based solution (SBS) or University of Wisconsin (UW) solution and after subsequent normothermic preincubation. In both SBS and UW, cold storage for 24 h depressed respiratory function (to 21 +/- 3 and 23 +/- 3 nmol O(2)/min/10(6) cells, respectively) compared to control cell values (31 +/- 3 and 33 +/- 5 nmol O(2)/min/10(6) cells; P < 0.01 in each case). However, normothermic preincubation for 60 min returned respiratory activity to control values (for SBS and UW storage: 41 +/- 6 and 40 +/- 5 nmol O(2)/min/10(6) cells; for control cells: 43 +/- 5 and 46 +/- 6 nmol O(2)/min/10(6) cells). Storage for 48 h in both SBS and UW allowed further depression of respiratory activity, with no recovery after preincubation. Stimulation of respiration by succinate in hepatocytes stored for longer periods was suggestive of increased membrane permeability. Both SBS and UW are effective storage solutions for isolated hepatocytes for up to 24 h as judged by aerobic metabolism, but significant damage was expressed in both solutions when preservation was extended.

Abstract
This study deals with isolation of rat hepatocytes by a non-enzymatic method and the separation of intact and damaged cells in sucrose medium. Low speed centrifugation in isotonic sucrose medium of a hepatocyte suspension obtained by mechanical desaggregation of liver pre-perfused with EDTA solution results in the formation of a cell pellet which contains two different layers. A darker layer contains hepatocytes with intact plasma membranes. Their respiratory activity and xenobiotic metabolism are close to those of the cells isolated by collagenase perfusion. The study of distribution of lipophilic cation tetraphenylphosphonium (TPP(+)) indicates a predominantly mitochondrial localization of TPP(+) in the intact cells following non-enzymatic and collagenase isolation. Hepatocytes in the upper layer have damaged plasma membranes. As a result they lose the potential to accumulate TPP(+), and have low rates of endogenous respiration and biotransformation activity. Addition of exogenous NADPH restores the capability to metabolize xenobiotics. Washing and incubation of these hepaticytes in an intracellular type medium results in restoration of uncoupler-stimulated oxygen consumption and generation of membrane potential in the presence of a succinate substrate. These properties are close to those of hepatocytes permeabilized by digitonin treatment. Thus, the procedure allows the simultaneous isolation of both intact and permeabilized hepatocytes with functionally active intracellular structures without the use of relatively expensive chemicals such as collagenase and Percoll.
