Type of article: Article

Summary

PRESERVATION OF BIOLOGICAL ORGANS IN A FROZEN STATE COULD INCREASE THEIR AVAILABILITY FOR TRANSPLANTATION. FREEZING OF LIVER TISSUE WAS STUDIED USING A NEW TECHNIQUE OF DIRECTIONAL SOLIDIFICATION COMBINED WITH LOW TEMPERATURE SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY. BASED ON THESE OBSERVATIONS, A THEORY IS PROPOSED TO EXPLAIN THE PROCESS OF FREEZING IN ORGANS AND FOR THE MECHANISM OF DAMAGE.
