What is cryopreservation? |
|
Answer» The word cryo comes from the Greek word "kayos" meaning "frost". It means preservation in a "frozen state". It is the process of cooling and storing cells, tissues, or organs at very low temperatures to maintain their viability. Cryopreservation is a technique in which low temperature is used to preserve the living cells and tissue. In this technique, tissues can be preserved for a very long time. The science that deals with cryopreservation is known as “cryobiology”. |
