Scientists revived frozen mouse brain tissue using vitrification, preserving structure and function.
Scientists at the University of Erlangen–Nuremberg revived frozen mouse brain tissue using vitrification, a method that prevents ice crystal formation.
After freezing brain slices to -196°C for up to a week, they were rapidly warmed and showed intact cells, functional mitochondria, and electrical responses indicating long-term potentiation.
The technique also preserved an entire mouse brain’s structure and signaling ability.
While reviving whole organisms remains distant, the breakthrough could advance organ preservation and treatments for brain injuries.
