An Improved Encapsulation Method for Cryopreserving Hepatocytes for Functional Transplantation Using a Thermo-reversible Gelation Polymer

Conclusion: We demonstrated a cryopreservation method of rat hepatocyte encapsulation using a TGP gel in the hydrogel state which subsequently allowed successful transplantation of unencapsulated hepatocytes in a sol state TGP gel at low temperature.
