Faced with desiccation stress, many organisms deploy strategies to maintain the integrity of
their cellular components. Amorphous glassy media composed of small molecular solutes or …

Up-to-date information concerning the chemical structure and properties of trehalose, its
natural occurrence and biological functions in plants, fungi, and prokaryotes, as well as its …

The aim of this study was to elucidate the role of the two main mechanisms used to explain
the stabilization of proteins by sugar glasses during drying and subsequent storage: the …

Trehalose is a naturally occurring disaccharide known to remarkably stabilize
biomacromolecules in the biologically active state. The stabilizing effect is typically observed …

The effect of heat and equivalent thermal effect (CT ref z) on discolouration of Spirulina
algae extracts in water, sucrose and trehalose solutions at different concentration was …

Lotus japonicus and Medicago truncatula model legumes, which form determined and
indeterminate nodules, respectively, provide a convenient system to study plant–Rhizobium …

We review recent studies on the role played by non-liquid, water-containing matrices on the
dynamics and structure of embedded proteins. Two proteins were studied, in water …

This review is devoted to the study of intracellular viscosity. Methods of intracellular viscosity
measurement in cell populations and single cells are characterized and critically evaluated …

The use of glycerol for boar semen cryopreservation results in low fertility, possibly due to
toxicity. This has led to recommend the use of solutions with less than 4% glycerol …

Low-temperature semen storage technologies are already being used in poultry
conservation programs, but the quality of reproductive material stored in cryobanks varies …
