Aldehyde-stabilized cryopreservation

Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Aldehyde-stabilized cryopreservation is a new technique for

°C, with the cell membranes, synapses, and intracellular structures intact in electron micrographs.[1] The technique has finally won the Small Animal Brain Preservation Prize of the Brain Preservation Foundation.[2][3] The cryopreserved brain was rewarmed and no serious degradation was found to have occurred; the brain structure under electron microscopic evaluation after rewarming remained well-preserved.[4][5] Although this technique has not yet lead to a successful revival of a cryopreserved brain, some researchers see this technique as providing promising directions for future research.[6]
