CRYONICS

Cryonics - freezing the dead with the hope of reviving them - has always been a long shot. But, says Wendy M Grossman, advances mean it could be coming a little closer

A theory, based on alterations of intra- and extracellular water is presented to explain the mechanisms of cellular damage by freezing and the effects…

Cryonics breakthrough boosts the prospect of bringing frozen human brains back to life.

Can a brain's connectome be preserved forever?

The five year race to preserve every neuron in the brain has come to a successful close.

We describe here a new cryobiological and neurobiological technique, aldehyde-stabilized cryopreservation (ASC), which demonstrates the relevance and …

A cryogenically preserved rabbit brain has been defrosted in a near-perfect state, with its memory-storing structures still intact

Vitrification solutions are aqueous cryoprotectant solutions which do not freeze when cooled at moderate rates to very low temperatures. Vitrification…

From the US to Russia, companies are freezing people hoping for a second shot at life

Cancer claimed Kim Suozzi at age 23, but she chose to have her brain preserved with the dream that neuroscience might one day revive her mind.

Abstract: Biological systems can remain unchanged for several hundred years at cryogenic temperatures. In several hundred years, current rapid scientific and technical progress should lead to the ab...

The cryopreservation of organs became an active area of research in the 1950s as a result of the rediscovery of the cryoprotective properties of glyce…

Cryopreservation would potentially very much facilitate the inventory control and distribution of laboratory-produced organs and tissues. Although simple freezing methods are effective for many simple tissues, bioartificial organs and complex tissue constructs ...
