“…However, there are now studies that suggest cryopreservation may not negatively impact the functionality of MSCs [35][36][37][38]. Six studies used mice for their experiments (35,37,39,40,42,50), six studies used rats [36,41,43,46,48,49], one study used both mice and rats [44], one study used beagle dogs [47], and one study used guinea pigs [45]. Nine studies included a 'vehicle only' as an additional control arm [36,37,[39][40][41]45,46,49,50], while four studies employed a sham animal model, where disease negative animals received MSCs or vehicle [42][43][44]48].…”
