Study suggests physical cause for cell death in dry preservation

Thursday, July 14, 2016 - 16:01 in Biology & Nature

A new finding in experiments studying the dry preservation of living cells—a potentially revolutionary alternative to cryopreservation - has defined a clear limit where continuing dehydration kills cells. The data, combined with molecular dynamics simulations, provides insight into an important processing factor that has limited recent attempts at dry preservation.
