The present review discusses the molecular mechanisms of injury caused by low
temperatures and/or freezing. The review is intended mainly for insect environmental …

Most multicellular organisms are freeze sensitive, but the ability to survive freezing of the
extracellular fluids evolved in several vertebrate ectotherms, some plants, and many insects …

Freeze tolerance, the ability to survive internal ice formation, facilitates survival of some
insects in cold habitats. Low-molecular-weight cryoprotectants such as sugars, polyols and …

Abstract Background The tick Dermacentor silvarum Olenev (Acari: Ixodidae) is a vital vector
tick species mainly distributed in the north of China and overwinters in the unfed adult stage …

Some ectotherms can survive internal ice formation. In temperate regions, freeze tolerance
is often induced by decreasing temperature and/or photoperiod during autumn. However …

We aimed to determine the effects of single cyanobacterial metabolites aeruginosin-B (AER-
B), anabaenopeptin-B (ANA-B), cylindrospermopsin (CYL), their binary and ternary mixtures …

Few invertebrates can survive cryopreservation in liquid nitrogen, and the mechanisms by
which some species do survive are underexplored, despite high application potential. Here …

Background: Many insect species have evolved the ability to survive extracellular freezing.
The search for the underlying principles of their natural freeze tolerance remains hampered …

Low temperatures in nature occur together with desiccation conditions, causing changes in
metabolic pathways and cellular dehydration, affecting hemolymph volume, water content …

Many insects survive internal freezing, but the great complexity of freezing stress hinders
progress in understanding the ultimate nature of freezing-induced injury. Here, we use …
