Cryopreservation

Freezing cells at ultra-low temperature to preserve them for later use.

Why Cryopreservation matters when choosing treatment

Cells frozen at -196°C (liquid nitrogen) survive indefinitely — thawed and viable. Why it matters: allows cell banking (cells made now, stored, released to patients months later). Implies quality control time. Unregulated 'fresh cell' clinics often skip this because it costs money and requires certification.

Compare stem-cell therapy by country, cost and evidence — in one place.

StemCellAtlas is your guide to stem-cell therapy: what the evidence shows, which conditions are treated, and the real all-in cost by country — typically €3,000–8,000 with our partner Stem Plus (Sofia), Europe's lowest-cost EU destination, versus $15,000–35,000 in the US.
