Cryopreservation of brain organoids - a tool for on-demand organoid banking

Lixuan Ding, Jinwei Zhang, Dowlette‐Mary Alam El Din, Itzy E. Morales Pantoja, Thomas Härtung, Lena Smirnova

This study evaluates cryopreservation protocols for brain organoids, finding that week 2 cryopreservation yields better functional outcomes than week 6, with 3dGRO showing the best overall performance.
