The term “zwitterionic polymers” refers to polymers that bear a pair of oppositely charged
groups in their repeating units. When these oppositely charged groups are equally …

Anti-icing coatings on outdoor infrastructures inevitably suffer from mechanical injuries in
numerous icing scenarios such as hailstorms, sandstorms, impacts of foreign objects, and …

Abstract Antifreeze (glyco) proteins [AF (G) Ps], which are widely present in various extreme
microorganisms, can control the formation and growth of ice crystals. Given the significance …

3D cell assemblies such as spheroids reproduce the in vivo state more accurately than
traditional 2D cell monolayers and are emerging as tools to reduce or replace animal …

The successful application of antifreeze proteins (AFPs) for biospecimen cryopreservation is
limited by their immunogenicity. In this work, three low immunogenic antifreeze peptides are …

Due to their distinctive characteristics of adequate flexibility, stability, and functional diversity,
thermogalvanic gels have demonstrated tremendous promise in the area of renewable …

Freezing can cause serious hazards in various fields, such as cryoinjury in cell and organ
cryopreservation, food quality deterioration, and ice accretion on surfaces including energy …

Undesired ice accumulation on outdoor infrastructures causes serious economic and safety
issues, inducing the urgent demand of anti-icing coatings. However, the outdoor equipment …

Cryopreservation can prolong the viability of cells and help meet the demand for biosamples
of high medical value. Cryoprotectants (CPAs) can mitigate unavoidable cell cryoinjury …

Large-scale biosafe T-cell cryopreservation is required to bring T-cell therapies to the
market, but it remains challenging due to the cytotoxicity of common cryoprotectants [eg …
