Groundbreaking Coral Cryopreservation Work to Preserve Endangered Corals youtu.be/XbjDcOmkb9c?fe… via YouTube

❄️ Supercooling is emerging as a promising technique for preserving cells, tissues & organs. At Mass General Research Institute, Harvard Medical School & ATP-Bio I've had the opportunity to initiate a new collaboration with Berk Usta to explore how different compounds affect this process (stay tuned for details)

"Here we report a high throughput approach to mechanoporation in which the plasma membrane is stretched and reversibly permeabilized by viscoelastic fluid forces within a microfluidic chip without surface contact." ✨ Read more here: nature.com/articles/s4146… #atpbio #NSFFunded

"This work describes the performance of a low-cost, tabletop, longitudinally detected electron paramagnetic resonance system to address this issue in the field of cryopreservation, which utilizes IONPs for rewarming of rat kidneys." 🌡️♨️ pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac… #NSFFunded
