Arctic and Antarctic insects, fish and amphibians create cryoprotectants (antifreeze compounds and antifreeze proteins) in their bodies to minimize freezing damage during cold winter periods. Cryoprotectants are also used to preserve living materials in the study of …

2017年6月1日 · Cryoprotective agents (CPAs) invariably play key roles in allowing cells to be processed for storage at deep cryogenic temperatures and to be recovered with high levels of appropriate functionality.

In a broad sense, such molecules affording protection against cooling/freezing can be called cryoprotectants or cryoprotective agents (CPAs).

A cryoprotective agent (CPA) is a substance used to protect biological materials, such as cells, tissues, embryos, and organs, from damage caused by ice crystal formation during freezing and thawing. These agents are essential in cryopreservation, a process that involves storing biological samples at ultra-low temperatures (-150°C to -196°C).

A cryoprotective agent is a substance that is added to prevent or reduce crystal formation during deep freezing of enzyme complexes or protein-bound membrane receptors. Common cryoprotective agents include DMSO, glycerol, sucrose, …

Cryoprotective and cytoprotective agents (Cytoprotective Agents) are fundamental components of the cryopreservation process. This review presents the essentials of the cryopreservation process by examining its drawbacks and the role of cytoprotective agents in protecting cell physiology.

In order to fully understand the role of cryoprotective agents (CPAs), we must first understand the effects of subzero temperatures on otherwise healthy tissue. Exposing cells to temperatures below 0ºC without the aid of cryoprotectants is typically lethal.

Antifreeze proteins (AFPs) protect organisms living in subzero environments from freezing injury, which render them potential applications for cryopreservation of living cells, organs, and tissues. Cryoprotective agents (CPAs), such as glycerol and propylene glycol, have been used as ingredients to …

However, for future advances in cryobiology and to meet new challenges in the clinical use of cryopreserved cells or tissues, it will be essential to have an understanding of the development and current status of the biological and chemical knowledge on cryoprotectants (CPA).

2024年11月2日 · Freeze drying, or lyophilization, is a method used to remove water from sensitive items. This includes medicines, biological products, and food. It helps keep these items in good shape and working well. Cryoprotectants are key in this process, protecting these items from harm when frozen and dried.
