Microscopes have long served as windows into the hidden world of cells, revealing their shape, activity, and chemistry. Yet watching life at this scale has always involved trade-offs. To capture the ...

A team of Japanese researchers has - for the first time - demonstrated preserving frozen animal cells without a cryoprotectant agent (CPA), a substance that can protect biological material from ...

Cell freezing (cryopreservation) - which is essential in cell transfusions as well as basic biomedical research - can be dramatically improved using a new polymeric cryoprotectant, discovered at the ...

Cryopreservation plays a crucial role in cell biology research, bioprocessing, and biomanufacturing. Traditionally, DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide) has been the cryoprotectant of choice for preserving cells ...

Researchers in Japan have demonstrated preserving frozen animal cells without a cryoprotectant agent, relying instead on ultrarapid cooling. A team of Japanese researchers has -- for the first time -- ...
