The Antarctic sea ice diatom Navicular glaciei produced ice-binding protein (NagIBP) that is
similar to the antifreeze protein (TisAFP) from snow mold Typhula ishikariensis. In the …

The osmometer is a device used in clinical laboratories for measuring the concentration of
particles in a solution, known as the osmolar concentration. This quantity can be expressed …

The nanoliter osmometer is one of the most common tools in the study of ice-binding
proteins (IBPs). It is used not only to measure the thermal hysteresis activity of IBPs but also …

Ice-binding proteins (IBPs) are produced by a variety of organisms to prevent internal
damage caused by ice crystal growth. Synthetic analogs are being designed to mimic …

By preventing freezing, antifreeze proteins (AFPs) can permit cells and organs to be stored
at subzero temperatures. As metabolic rates decrease with decreasing temperature, subzero …

The development of biocompatible ice-controlling materials for non-vitreous
cryopreservation of cells is of great importance to the field of biomedicine. Here, we present …

Several polar microalgae are able to live and thrive in the extreme environment found within
sea ice, where growing ice crystals may cause mechanical damage to the cells and reduce …

Fr10 is a secreted freeze-responsive protein found in the wood frog (Rana sylvatica). This
protein has gained notable research attention for its highly dynamic expression in response …

A class of proteins known as antifreeze proteins (AFPs) appear in some organisms, allowing
them to survive in low-temperature environments. These AFPs irreversibly adsorb to the …

Fish antifreeze proteins (APs) including both glycoproteins and small proteins are
associated with freezing avoidance in most polar fishes. There are two major types of APs …
