Abstract  Long-term preservation and easy transportation of human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hBM-MSCs) will facilitate their application in medical treatment and bioengineering. A pilot study on the freeze-drying of hBM-MSCs was carried out. hBM-MSCs were loaded with trehalose. The glass transition temperature of the freeze-drying suspension was measured to provide information for the cooling and primary drying experiment. After freeze-drying, various rehydration processes were tested. The highest recovery rate of hBM-MSCs was (69.33卤13.08)%. Possible methods to improve freeze-drying outcomes are discussed. In conclusion, the present study has laid a foundation for the freeze-drying hBM-MSCs.
