Cryopreserving the intact intervertebral disc without compromising viability
This study created a novel solution to a roadblock in IVD research and development. Using post-compression swelling CPA can be delivered to an intact IVD over 20× more quickly than previous methods, enabling cryopreservation of the IVD with no detectable loss in cell viability.
