Investigating the Viability of Fat Cells Over 1, 3, and 6 Months After Freezing at −18°C
The findings of this study underscore a rapid decline in adipocyte viability after storage at -18°C at different time intervals (1, 3, and 6 months), at which points only around 60%, 40%, and 20% of fat cells remained viable, respectively. These results suggest that current fat preservation techniques utilizing either a -18°C freezer are not sufficient for maintaining the long-term viability of adipocytes, and alternative cryopreservation methods are needed to preserve fat cells.
