Polyunsaturated fatty acids confer cryoresistance on megakaryocytes generated from cord blood and also enhance megakaryocyte production from cryopreserved cord blood cells

Taken together, our data suggest that in vitro-generated DHA/AA MK survive cryoinjuries in a functionally better state. DHA/AA support a more efficient generation of MK from cryopreserved UCB.
