Many can survive for weeks with 65% of total body water frozen in extracellular ice masses. My lab uses genomic, proteomic and enzymatic technologies to identify the biochemical adaptations that support freezing survival. Well-studied mechanisms of freeze tolerance include high levels of carbohydrate cryoprotectants and effective ice management but our new work shows that many other aspects of cell preservation must also be addressed. These include ischemia protection, antioxidant defenses, cell volume regulation, freeze-specific gene expression, protein chaperones, and mechanisms for coordinated metabolic arrest. Our work in understanding both cryoinjury and cryopreservation has key applications for the development of human organ cryopreservation.
