    Background: Effective cryopreservation allows for the long-term storage of living cells or tissues with the possibility of later clinical applications. Unfortunately, no successful investigations on the long-term preservation of adipose aspirates for prospective autologous fat grafting have been conducted. Objectives: In this study, we aimed to compare 3 different freezing methods to preserve adipose aspirates obtained from conventional lipoplasty to determine the optimal cryopreservation technique. Methods: To determine the optimal cryopreservation technique, hematoxylin and eosin staining, MTS assay, and Annexin assay were performed on each of the 3 groups plus a fourth control group. Group 1 served as the control, and fat tissue was analyzed immediately after adipose harvesting with no cryopreservation. For experimental Group 2, 15mL of adipose aspirates were directly frozen at -80 degrees C for up to 2 weeks. For experimental Group 3, 15mL of adipose aspirates were frozen inside the adi-frosty containing 100% isopropanol and stored at -80 degrees C for up to 2 weeks. For experimental Group 4, 15mL of adipose aspirates were frozen with freezing solution containing 90% fetal bovine serum (v/v) and 10% dimethyl sulfoxide (v/v). Results: The results demonstrated that the experimental Group 3 had significantly more live adipocytes and greater cellular function of adipose aspirates than the experimental Groups 2 and 4. Conclusion: Cryopreservation with adi-frosty containing 100% isopropanol appears to be the best means of cryopreservation of fat.

    The Effect of Hybrosome (Umbilical Cord Blood Exosome-Liposome Hybrid Vesicles) on Human Dermal Cells In Vitro
    (Oxford Univ Press, 2023) Kocak, Polen; Unsal, Naz; Canikyan, Serli; Kul, Yaren; Cohen, Steven R.; Tiryaki, Tung; Duncan, Diane
    Background: Wound healing is a process that involves multiple physiological steps, and despite the availability of various wound treatment methods, their effectiveness is still limited due to several factors, including cost, efficiency, patient-specific requirements, and side effects. In recent years, nanovesicles called exosomes have gained increasing attention as a potential wound care solution due to their unique cargo components which enable cell-to-cell communication and regulate various biological processes. Umbilical cord blood plasma (UCBP) exosomes have shown promise in triggering beneficial signaling pathways that aid in cell proliferation and wound healing. However, there is still very limited information about the wound-healing effect of UCBP exosomes in the literature. Objectives: The primary objective of this study was to investigate the hybrosome technology generated with calf UCBP-derived exosome-liposome combination. Methods: The authors developed hybrosome technology by fusing cord blood exosome membranes with liposomes. Nanovesicle characterization, cell proliferation assay, wound-healing scratch assay, immunohistochemistry analysis, anti-inflammation assay, real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and cellular uptake studies were performed using the novel hybrid exosomes. Results: Experimental results showed that hybrosome increases cell proliferation and migration by 40% to 50%, depending on the dose, and induces an anti-inflammatory effect on different cell lines as well as increased wound healing-related gene expression levels in dermal cells in vitro. All in all, this research widens the scope of wound-healing therapeutics to the novel hybrosome technology. Conclusions: UCBP-based applications have the potential for wound treatments and are promising in the development of novel therapies. This study shows that hybrosomes have outstanding abilities in wound healing using in vitro approaches.
