Siberian nematode worms kept in permafrost for 42,000 years come back to life
A team of Russian researchers revived two nematodes buried in Siberian permafrost for 32,000 and 42,000 years.
Refrigeration technologies help preserve biodiversity
The role of refrigeration in biodiversity protection is illustrated by two examples: the cryopreservation of coral larvae and the use of refrigeration to fight bee colony collapse.
Cold temperatures, a potential ally against cancer
Exposure to cold temperatures can reduce tumour growth by slowing down the glucose metabolism of cancer cells.
Scalp cooling device: prevent hair loss caused by chemotherapy.
Scalp cooling device may help reduce hair loss for women with breast cancer receiving chemotherapy.
Cryogenics and 3D-printing techniques could allow the replication of human tissues
A team of researchers from Imperial College London have developed a new technique which could allow the replication of human brain and lung tissue and regenerate damaged parts.
Preserving frogs from extinction thanks to cryobanking
Australian frog cells have been successfully frozen and re-grown in culture, offering hope of a new technique to safeguard endangered amphibians.
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.
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...
Cryostimulation may improve sleep quality and mood
A recent study reveals that repeated cryostimulation exposures promote better sleep quality, increased deep sleep, and reduced anxiety, with more pronounced effects in women.
Cooling cardiac arrest patients improves survival
Research presented at the American Heart Association’s Scientific Sessions 2012 demonstrates that cooling patients resuscitated after sudden cardiac arrest in order to achieve a lower body temperature increases survival.
Saving the Iberian lynx thanks to cryopreservation
IZW scientists developed a method for cryopreserving oocytes and embryos of wild cat species.
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.
Freeze-drying of fruit does retain its nutritional goodness
A study at Sheffield Hallam University and Chaucer Foods has found that freeze drying strawberries had no significant impact on their nutrient content.
Cryotherapy can successfully help treat recurrent mesothelioma.
Radiologists at University of California recently showed that cryoablation can destroy tumour cells in patients recurrent pleural mesothelioma.
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.
