Advances in brain tissue cryopreservation
A team of researchers has developed a method for preserving the neuronal architecture and functional activity of cerebral organoids. This could make it possible to reduce the long-term costs of culturing these...
Cryopreservation techniques in reproductive medicine: improving cell survival after warming
A recent literature review presents the technical progress in cryopreservation techniques. The vitrification concept is presented as crucial to ensure cell survival after cryopreservation.
New advance in cryopreservation could make blood preservation more practical
It’s already possible to cryopreserve human red blood cells in the presence of 40 percent glycerol, but is rarely done because of the time-consuming process to thaw and remove the glycerol from the blood.
Cryogenics 2021 highlights: applications of liquid nitrogen
Cryopreservation of biological materials to favour biodiversity and cooling of superconducting cables to allow transmission of electrical energy with zero resistance are key applications of liquid...
Honey is an efficient natural cryoprotectant in fertility preservation
While several review articles point to the need for new, effective and less toxic cryoprotectants, honey has proven to be an effective non-penetrating...
A must-read in the IJR: a review of storage temperatures for biological material
To improve storage efficiency, the authors of a review article take stock of storage temperatures for biological material (cells, proteins, DNA, etc).
Walk with someone else's tendons thanks to cryogenics
A technique of cryopreservation of grafts developed in France in the context of ligament transplantation, allows grafts to be preserved for up to 10 years and to limit the risk of rejection.
