Abstract
Front Cover: In article 2300499, Kosuke Kuroda and co-workers optimize an isotonic freezing medium composed of poly(zwitterion), which alleviates osmotic shock unlike typical hypertonic freezing media. Imidazolium/carboxylate-type poly(zwitterion) is the optimal chemical structure. This illustration shows that the optimized poly(zwitterion) protects cells from ice crystal formation by forming a matrix around the cell membrane.
