#cryobiology — Public Fediverse posts

#TIL In the 1950s, #scientists cooled hamsters/rats to near-freezing and used #microwave diathermy to revive them. Not quite “frozen mice in a microwave,” but still a wonderfully weird chapter in cryobiology history. 🐹❄️📡

A research echoed recently by a team from #germany #fau that succeeded in preserving #brain tissue through extreme deep #freezing

High-pressure freezing is a novel #cryopreservation technique that utilizes extreme pressure and rapid cooling to instantaneously freeze biological samples into a noncrystalline solid state via vitrification.

Frozen Ark (Zoology 🦥)

The Frozen Ark is a charitable frozen zoo project created jointly by the Zoological Society of London, the Natural History Museum and University of Nottingham. The project aims to preserve the DNA and living cells of endangered species to retain the genetic knowledge for the future. The Frozen Ark collects and stores samples taken f...

Frozen zoo (Zoology 🦥)

A frozen zoo is a storage facility in which genetic materials taken from animals are stored at very low temperatures in tanks of liquid nitrogen. Material preserved in this way can be stored indefinitely and used for artificial insemination, in vitro fertilization, embryo transfer, and cloning. There are a few frozen zoos across the world that implement this...

Hello everybody - here’s my #introduction.

I was a #research #scientist for many years working on #cryobiology, artificial #liver systems, #lasers, #microscopy, and #OpticalTweezers.

I now work as a #grant #funding research development manager. I spend my days reading grant applications and working with hundreds of fantastic #academics in the beautiful town of #StAndrews #Scotland.

I am interested in #sustainability and how we can make the world a better place.
