The brain tissue of interest is embedded in this hydrogel. “Cellular components are linked to the hydrogel, meaning the cells’ fine ultrastructure is imprinted onto the gel and preserved for ...

Individual sections were stored in separate 60 ml containers (VWR Catalog No: 216-2621) in a cryoprotectant solution (30% glycerol, 30% ethylene glycol, 40% 1 × PBS) and stored at −20°C until further ...

Until now, whether living brain tissue could be shut down by freezing and then regain function was unknown. Cryopreservation involves more than just freezing.

Scientists merged human brain-like tissue with a computer chip in order to help teach small robotic systems how to navigate obstacles, as well as how to track and grasp items.

A piece of a brain is placed near the centre of the machine and doused with cryoprotectant. It is then enclosed inside a chamber, sandwiched between layers of sapphire and steel.

Such a manoeuvre on the scale of tissue, an organ or a body is not currently feasible. Then there’s the issue of the body’s 200 different cell types, each requiring a different freezing technique.
