Exploring the Potential of Natural Antifreeze Proteins for Enhanced Cryopreservation Techniques
Cryopreservation presents challenges in preserving tissues at low temperatures without ice crystal formation. Natural antifreeze proteins offer promise in preventing ice growth and recrystallization, potentially improving the viability of tissues during preservation. Research on antifreeze proteins such as antifreeze proteins (AFP) from fish and insects shows promising results in inhibiting devitrification and ice recrystallization at sub-zero temperatures. Utilizing AFPs in cryopreservation techniques may lead to significant advancements in preserving tissues and enhancing the field of cryonics for future restoration possibilities.
