A high-pressure method of instantaneously freezing cells has proven to be effective in the first empirical validation of its kind. Through further development, the method holds promise in finding ...

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 ...

Researchers from the University of Warwick and University of Manchester developed a machine learning-based model to enhance cryoprotectant discovery. The new approach identifies molecules that prevent ...

Preliminary efficacy of an enhanced quitline smoking cessation intervention for cancer patients. This is an ASCO Meeting Abstract from the 2015 ASCO Annual Meeting I. This abstract does not include a ...

In the freezer, there’s a fine line between preservation and destruction. Take, for example, a carton of ice cream. Left in the freezer too long, this cold, creamy treat transforms into a grainy, ...

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 ...

Cryopreservation entails the ultra‐low temperature storage of plant tissues or cells, typically in liquid nitrogen at –196 °C, to arrest all metabolic activity and ensure long‐term viability of ...

Researchers in Japan have demonstrated preserving frozen animal cells without a cryoprotectant agent, relying instead on ultrarapid cooling. A team of Japanese researchers has -- for the first time -- ...
