Ice Inhibition for Cryopreservation: Materials, Strategies, and Challenges

Cryopreservation technology has developed into a fundamental and important supporting method for biomedical applications such as cell‐based therapeutics, tissue engineering, assisted reproduction, and vaccine storage. The formation, growth, and recrystallization of ice crystals are the major limitations in cell/tissue/organ cryopreservation, and cause fatal cryoinjury to cryopreserved biological samples. Flourishing anti‐icing materials and...
