For the first time, researchers revived fully functional mouse brain tissue from cryopreservation. The secret sauce: ...

Cryoprotectants (CPAs) are a series of biomaterials developed to reduce cryoinjuries. To achieve the high efficiency of RBC cryopreservation, suitable CPAs should be added before freezing.

Cryoprotectants are crucial when freezing biological material to lessen the cellular damage involved with the formation of ice. Ice re-crystallization, that is the process by which larger ice ...

This effective novel cryoprotection mode could be used to develop new and more efficient cryoprotectants for the biosciences. Cryoprotectants prevent ice crystals from forming when samples are frozen.

Nature has evolved sugars, amino acids, and special antifreeze proteins as cryoprotectants. People use organic solvents and synthetic polymers as additives to prevent cell cultures from freezing ...

Before freezing, a process called vitrification is used to replace bodily fluids with cryoprotectants to prevent ice crystal formation, which could damage cells. Though the idea sounds like ...

In a process called vitrification, researchers treated slices of mouse brains with cryoprotectants which protected ice crystals from forming and destroying the tissue When the slices of brain were ...

Cryogenic sleep pods in 'Passengers' would require non-toxic, rapid-acting cryoprotectants for vitrification. Unlike ice, glass contains no crystals that might fracture or stab the other contents ...

The low insulin loading content stems from the fact cryoprotectants occupy most of the nanoparticles. In light of the limitation, the team identified spray drying as a way to potentially produce ...
