Dormant1 article

Overview

Cryopreservation is the process of preserving cells, tissues, or organs by cooling them to very low temperatures, typically -196 °C (-321 °F), to halt biological activity. It holds significant promise for long-term storage of biological materials for medical applications, including organ banking and fertility preservation.
