“…158 The survival rates of skin grafts, taken from rabbit ear, were reported to be enhanced for those stored in trehalose solution, following prolonged storage at 4 • C. 160 In addition, the viability of lyophilized bovine embryos was increased significantly upon trehalose addition. 159 Furthermore, canine lungs preserved in trehalose demonstrated significantly greater function and histology compared with those preserved in glucose; 161 long-term cryopreservation at −85 • C in trehalosecontaining solution resulted in viable tracheal graft tissue, and in reduced transplant rejection without immunosuppressive therapy. 162 Trehalose was also shown to be effective as a cryoprotectant for carrot and tobacco cells, as long as it was applied as a pretreatment to cells.…”
