One of the main hurdles which prevent the wide-scale adoption of cryonics as a valid medical technology is the issue of water crystallization in cells which lead to cell rupture. Have there been any advances made in literature recently to address this issue? Would appreciate links to survey articles, if available. Thanks
Dear Rafiq Bodalal . This is really a very interesting topic. Suggest you read this paper. I found it very interesting
Nikita Vasilev Just read the article. Basically, cryopreservation seems feasible on the cellular level, but when larger tissues/organs are considered success rates drop significantly. Cryopreservant toxicities also still seem to be an issue as well as the appropriate concentrations of these chemicals for optimal performance. Loved the article. Thanks.
