Cryoprotective agents can be used to prevent ice crystal formation and the resulting damage, by creating a glassy state instead. They’ve been used to store samples of fluids like blood and ...

Cryoprotective agents are like the antifreeze that you put in your car to stop the engine freezing as they allow the storage of cells at very low temperatures, Bryant said.

In response, Pharmacosmos has developed PentaHibe ®, a new range of cryoprotective formulas that are DMSO-free or contain a significantly reduced amount of DMSO.

The researchers then flushed the nanoparticles and cryoprotective solution out of the organs before replacing the rats' native kidneys with these transplants. The recipients were able to live ...
