[PROJECT] CRYOPRESERVATION - Improved Cryopreservation using Ice Binding Proteins
ID: 281595
Start date: 2011-11-01, End date: 2016-10-31
Several organisms have evolved specialized ice binding proteins (IBPs) that prevent their body fluids from freezing (antifreeze proteins, AFPs), inhibit recrystallization of ice in frozen tissues, or initiate freezing at moderate supercooling temperatures (ice nucleating prot...
