Cryopreservation is known as the technique of solidifying time, by cooling biological materials (e.g. cells, tissues and organs) to low temperatures with the addition of cryoprotectants (generally -196°C liquid nitrogen preservation), and then rewarming them to normal temperatures (37°C) in an effective manner when needed, at which time the biological samples can still be restored and maintain their activity.

Spinal cord-like tissue transplantation helps paralyzed rats regain motor function
Dai Jianwu, a researcher at the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology, Chinese Academy of Sciences (IGDB, CAS), and Yannan Zhao, a young researcher, have made a new progress in the study of in vitro fabrication of human spinal cord tissues, which, when transplanted, help to restore motor functions in paralyzed rats. The related study was recently published in Science Advances.
