Cold acclimatized organisms produce antifreeze proteins that prevent ice growth and
recrystallization at subfreezing conditions. Flatness and rigidity of the ice-binding sites of …

Understanding the ice recrystallisation inhibition (IRI) activity of antifreeze biomimetics is
crucial to the development of the next generation of cryoprotectants. In this work, we bring …

Ice recrystallization inhibitors (IRI) are of critical importance in biology, cryopreservation of
cells and organs, and frozen foods. Antifreeze glycoproteins (AFGPs) are the most potent …

Ice formation is a ubiquitous process that poses serious challenges for many areas. Nature
has evolved a variety of different mechanisms to regulate ice formation. For example, many …

Hyperactive insect antifreeze proteins and bacterial ice-nucleating proteins are arguably the
most potent ice-binding molecules in nature. These highly effective proteins bind ice through …

Antifreeze (glyco) proteins (AF (G) Ps) are potent inhibitors of ice recrystallization and may
have biotechnological applications. The most potent AF (G) Ps function at concentrations a …

This manuscript reports a detailed study on the ability of poly (vinyl alcohol) to act as a
biomimetic surrogate for antifreeze (glyco) proteins, with a focus on the specific property of …

Although materials for ice recrystallization inhibition (IRI) are essential for the
cryopreservation of cells and tissues, there exists no guiding mechanism for the design of …

The development of improved cryopreservative materials is necessary to enable complete
recovery of living cells and tissue after frozen storage. Remarkably, poly (vinyl alcohol)(PVA) …

Antifreeze proteins and ice‐binding proteins have been discovered in a diverse range of
extremophiles and have the ability to modulate the growth and formation of ice crystals …
