Cryopreservation has become a central technology in many areas of clinical medicine,
biotechnology, and species conservation within both plant and animal biology …

Ice-binding proteins (IBPs) are a diverse class of proteins that assist organism survival in the
presence of ice in cold climates. They have different origins in many organisms, including …

Ice-binding proteins (IBP) facilitate survival under extreme conditions in diverse life forms.
IBPs in polar fishes block further growth of internalized environmental ice and inhibit ice …

Antifreeze proteins (AFPs) are a unique class of proteins that bind to growing ice crystal
surfaces and arrest further ice growth. AFPs have gained a large interest for their use in …

The cryopreservation of biomaterials is fundamental to modern biotechnology and
biomedicine, but the biggest challenge is the formation of ice, resulting in fatal cryoinjury to …

Interactions of macromolecules with growing crystalline surfaces play an important role in
biomineralization, determine survival of some organisms at low temperatures, and offer a …

Sub-zero temperatures put plants at risk of damage associated with the formation of ice
crystals in the apoplast. Some freeze-tolerant plants mitigate this risk by expressing ice …

Extremophiles produce macromolecules which inhibit ice recrystallization, but there is
increasing interest in discovering and developing small molecules that can modulate ice …

Antifreeze proteins (AFPs) help some organisms resist freezing by binding to ice crystals
and inhibiting their growth. The molecular basis for how these proteins recognize and bind …

Safranine O, a synthetic dye, was found to inhibit growth of ice at millimolar concentrations
with an activity comparable to that of highly evolved antifreeze glycoproteins. Safranine …
