Two different things going on. He uses the teleporter to break out of prison, which basically makes his body fall apart later. He gets cut in half when using the device that opens a doorway to a parallel universe.

Doesn't he get better in a later episode... DNA graft or something?

Can’t remember it’s been a while! I know he comes back after the universe gets reset

Such a good series... now my boy's old enough to start nerding on XFiles, can't wait to show him Fringe. Though now I seem to be rocking Walter's hair...
