Apoptotic Cell Death and Function of Cryopreserved Porcine Hepatocytes in a Bioartificial Liver

We have previously shown that cryopreservation leads to increased apoptotic death of porcine hepatocytes intended for use in a bioartificial liver (BAL). This study was designed to determine if a broad-spectrum caspase inhibitor, IDN–1965, reduced apoptosis and increased function of cryopreserved po...
