Summary

Cell-to-cell and cell-to-surface interactions are important to the structure and function of tissues. These interactions are also important determinants of low-temperature responses in tissues. Four in vitro models using hamster fibroblast cells in tissue culture were used to investigate the influence of cell-cell and cell-surface interactions on intracellular ice formation in these systems. The results indicate that cell-cell and cell-surface interactions play a significant role in the low-temperature response of tissue systems.
