The cryopreservation of biomaterials is fundamental to modern biotechnology and
biomedicine, but the biggest challenge is the formation of ice, resulting in fatal cryoinjury to …

The preservative effects of low temperature on biological materials have been long
recognised, and cryopreservation is now widely used in biomedicine, including in organ …

Cryopreservation technology allows long‐term banking of biological systems. However, a
major challenge to cryopreserving organs remains in the rewarming of large volumes (> 3 …

Cryopreservation is widely used to maintain backups of cells as it enables the
semipermanent storage of cells. During the freezing process, ice crystals that are generated …

Preventing ice formation during cryopreservation by vitrification has led to the successful
storage and banking of numerous cellular-and tissue-based biomaterials. In their …

Magnetic nanoparticles, especially superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs),
have attracted tremendous attention for various biomedical applications. Facile synthesis …

Cryoprotective agents (CPAs) are routinely applied in cryopreservation protocols to achieve
the vitrified state thereby avoiding the damaging effects of ice crystals. Once the CPA has …

Complex living systems such as mammalian cells can be arrested in a solid phase by
ultrarapid cooling. This allows for precise observation of cellular structures as well as …

Water can be vitrified if it is cooled at high rates, which makes it possible to outrun
crystallization in so-called no man's land, a range of deeply supercooled temperatures …

Background The objective of this study was to carry out a systematic review and meta-
analysis of embryologic and clinical outcomes following open versus closed vitrification of …
