Temperature of culture can be used to modulate cellular metabolism for improving small intestinal cell culture and cryopreservation. An hypothermia pretreatment (2 days at 25°C and 3 hours recovery at 37°C) improved hamster cell survival to freeze-thaw damage (p < 0.01) but decreased the survival...
