Cryopreservation of primary neonatal rat oligodendrocytes and recapitulation of in vitro oligodendrocyte characteristics by Hanki Kim, Hanki Kim, Bum Jun Kim, Bum Jun Kim, Seungyon Koh, Seungyon Koh, Seungyon Koh, Hyo Jin Cho, Byung Gon Kim, Byung Gon Kim, Jun Young Choi, Jun Young Choi

“…While OPCs cryopreserved for 3–6 months showed a decrease in cell density after two days of proliferation, ~17% of cryopreserved OPCs maintained the potential for proliferation comparable to control OPCs that had not frozen. After induction of differentiation for four days, ~43% of both control and cryopreserved OPCs differentiated into mature OLs, and when differentiation was induced on aligned nanofibers mimicking axonal structure, myelin sheath-like structures indicative of in vitro myelination was observed in all experimental groups.ConclusionThe validation of cryopreserved primary OLs as a functionally robust in vitro model can help improve the efficiency of primary OL culture, expand its applications, and reduce the inevitable sacrifice of animals.…”
