The current development of organ cryopreservation with the aim of preserving human transplant organs and making them available to remedy the shortage of transplants will be discussed. Preservation of the entire human body is also a long-term goal which may come a little more into reach by such development.\u003cbr\u003eThe processes involved in the cooling of tissues, using vitrification and cryoprotection, are discussed in detail.\u003cbr\u003eThe many experiments on cells, tissues and organs at non-cryogenic and cryogenic temperatures below 0 C are compiled and evaluated.\u003cbr\u003eObstacles to the methods and the development of means to overcome them are another topic.\u003cbr\u003eThe astonishing survival of cells following oxygen deprivation is presented with regard to the still inadequate methods of post-mortem tissue cryopreservation.\u003cbr\u003eThe possibilities of repairing and reactivating tissues form another chapter.\u003cbr\u003eThe book ends with an outlook on the development of amazing new methods and procedures for cryoprotection, the prevention of ice crystals and stress fractures, and the restoration of tissues. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe work addresses a general audience as well as academics and, in particular, scientists who want to find out about the state of research in the field of cryobiology cryoprotection in general and organ and body preservation in particular.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Klaus Sames\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3838220587\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783838220581\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Ibidem Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/20\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Klaus Sames","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46401670611199,"sku":"9783838220581","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_24574fb8-8c5c-4ac0-af47-c2fa43a57e93.jpg?v=1733888306","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/cryopreservation-klaus-sames-9783838220581","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
