The disaccharide trehalose has received considerable attention in the bio-preservation field due to its outstanding properties as a glass former, and it is widely used in the pharmaceutical and food industries to stabilize dried products. In part,...
Advances in the cryopreservation of genetic material has revolutionized human reproductive medicine and animal conservation efforts. Despite many successes, oocytes have been more challenging to cryopreserve than sperm. Their large size makes it d...
The continued development of pharmaceutical recombinant proteins as therapeutics necessitates a full understanding of the biomolecular interactions impacting structural and functional protein stability within different environments. Two such envir...
The glassy or amorphous solid state of trehalose has been utilized in the food and pharmaceutical industry to immobilize and stabilize sensitive molecules and it is increasingly being explored for the preservation of biologics. Retention of the gl...
The current gold standard for gamete preservation is cryogenic storage. Dry preservation is an attractive alternative, eliminating the need for refrigeration, reducing storage maintenance costs, and providing logistical flexibility for shipping. T...
