Principles of Cryopreservation and Applicabilities in Intestinal Organoids

1. AbstractCryobiology is known as a study of low temperatures effects in tissues and cells, which means understand influences on decreasing temperature and pressure in the freezing medium and how the cell membrane reacts to these variables. Cryopreservation emerged by the principles of Cryo- biology as a technology capable of preserving the composition and viability …
