The results of NMR, and especially pulsed field gradient NMR (PFG NMR) investigations,
are summarized. Pulsed field gradient NMR technique makes it possible to investigate …

Water cycling across the membrane transporters is considered a hallmark of cellular
metabolism and it could be of high diagnostic relevance in the characterization of tumors …

Ice formation and recrystallization exert severe impairments to cellular cryopreservation. In
light of cell-damaging washing procedures in the current glycerol approach, many …

It was established through in vivo T1 measurements at low magnetic fields that tumour cells
display proton T1 values that are markedly longer than those shown by healthy tissue …

Cryopreservation of red blood cells (RBC) is an important method for maintaining an
inventory of rare RBC units and managing special transfusion circumstances. Currently, in a …

Cryopreservation of red blood cells (RBCs) is imperative for transfusion therapy, while
cryoprotectants are essential to protect RBCs from cryoinjury under freezing temperatures …

Water transport across cell membranes can be measured non-invasively with diffusion NMR.
We present a method to quantify the intracellular lifetime of water in cell suspensions with …

Currently, glycerol is a conventional cryoprotectant of human red blood cells (hRBCs), but
the time-consuming thawing and deglycerolization processes are essential before …

As a nonreducing disaccharide, trehalose can be used as a biocompatible cryoprotectant for
solvent-free cell cryopreservation, but the membrane-impermeability limits its cryoprotective …

Cryopreservation of human erythrocytes via suitable cryoprotectants is essential for
transfusion during emergencies, but the conventional glycerolization method requires a …
