Scientists Revive Frozen Brain Tissue Brought Back to Life in Cryopreservation Scientists revive neural activity in a brain region frozen at −196 °C, preserving the circuitry of memory. Not a single cell. Not a tissue smear on a glass slide. An actual adult brain region  the hippocampus, the seat of memory and spatial navigation  vitrified at −196°C, stored for up to seven days, then warmed back to life with its…

High pressures depress the onset of intracellular vitrification The low temperature limit for life remains elusive and poorly understood. This ignorance is further compounded when applied to life in multi-extreme environments where low temperatures combine with fa...

Happy to share my latest paper in @plosone.org, we looked at how high presssures affect the intracellular vitrification (Tg') of microbial cells and how this informs our understanding of the habitability of multi-extreme environments.
