Cryopreservation of cells and biologics underpins all biomedical research from routine
sample storage to emerging cell-based therapies, as well as ensuring cell banks provide …

Significance: The imino acid proline is utilized by different organisms to offset cellular
imbalances caused by environmental stress. The wide use in nature of proline as a stress …

Insect performance is limited by the temperature of the environment, and in temperate, polar,
and alpine regions, the majority of insects must face the challenge of exposure to low …

Herein, we review the multifaceted roles of proline in cell biology. This peculiar cyclic imino
acid is:(i) A main precursor of extracellular collagens (the most abundant human proteins) …

Insects have evolved a number of physiological mechanisms for coping with the detrimental
effects of low temperature. As autumn progresses, insects use environmental signals such …

Freeze tolerance–the ability to survive internal ice formation–has evolved repeatedly in
insects, facilitating survival in environments with low temperatures and/or high risk of …

Thermal tolerance may limit and therefore predict ectotherm geographic distributions.
However, which of the many metrics of thermal tolerance best predict distribution is often …

Gut symbiotic bacteria have a substantial impact on host physiology and ecology. However,
the contribution of gut microbes to host fitness during long-term low-temperature stress is still …

Among-population variation in insect thermal performance is important for understanding
patterns and mechanisms of evolution and predicting insect responses to altered climate …

Aquaculture production is currently challenged to meet the growing demands for seafood
protein throughout the world. To achieve this growth in an efficient, safe and sustainable …
