In an abstract in Cryobiology 55 (2007), 21st Century Medicine researcher Greg Fahy reports on the biological (pharmacological or “cryopharmacological”) effects of vitrification solutions. He
Can life exist without water? This is one of the questions that fascinates astrobiologists. The behavior of biomolecules in non-aqueous solutions is also of interest
The question of whether cryonics “works” or not is too general and hides the point that progressive breakthroughs can make the concept more plausible. Human
A PDF file of this document is available with images and structural visualization of various sugars. D(+) lactose monohydrate is the principal sugar in mammalian
On August 23, Chana and Aschwin de Wolf drafted a blog entry on the phenomenon of partners who are hostile to cryonics. We sent our
The major limiting obstacle to reversible cryopreservation of complex organs is cryoprotectant toxicity. Elimination of ice formation through vitrification requires high concentrations of cryoprotective agents.
In “The chemistry of neuroprotection”, the author argues convincingly that there could be great benefit from a systematic and rigorously scientific study of the physical
Physical Immortality 2(2) 7 (2nd Q 2004) James Bedford’s freezing in January 1967 is usually regarded as the first true cryonic suspension, done immediately after
Just a superficial look at the history of the life extension movement will suffice to show the rise and fall of numerous fads and trends
P. Colm Malone and Paul S. Agutter have written a remarkable book about deep venous thrombosis (DVT) called “The Aetiology of Deep Venous Thrombosis: A
