There is a strong need for long-term conservation of grapevine genetic resources. With so polymorphic species, it is highly difficult to obtain relevant results considering that cryopreservation protocols were established testing only few very often specific cultivars. Regarding cryopreservation protocols, many factors are influencing the final result. Research articles processing cryo preservation protocols of grapevine are reporting a percentage of recovery, but a broader application of some protocol on a large range of Vitis vinifera cultivars is limited. How to design an efficient cryopreservation protocol, starting from plant material to the appro - priate observation of recovery, will be discussed in this chapter.","PeriodicalId":182510,"journal":{"name":"Cryopreservation Biotechnology in Biomedical and Biological Sciences","volume":"124 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127427318","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Their main disadvantage is logistics as it is more difficult. This limitation is especially problem atic for emergency and intensive care departments for managing massive bleeding. The early and aggressive use of blood products for massive hemorrhage may correct coagu -lopathy, control bleeding, and improve outcomes. The timely availability of platelets at the shortest time after the injury is often problematic. Many hospitals cannot afford to have platelets permanently in stock because of its short shelf life. Cryopreservation and storage of frozen platelets may significantly prolong their shelf life. Thus, frozen platelets provide long-term accessibility in situations where fresh products are not available. The most widely used method for the platelets cryopreservation is freezing at 5–6% DMSO at −80°C. The production of cryopreserved platelets is not technologically demanding, they can be easily thawed and reconstituted. Frozen platelets are an alternative blood product for urgent orders in connection with heavy bleeding. They are cost-effective functional platelets product for the management of bleeding and should be considered for wider use in clinical practice, such as autologous platelets, rare or HLA/HPA compatible plate - lets and platelets for non-transfusion use.","PeriodicalId":182510,"journal":{"name":"Cryopreservation Biotechnology in Biomedical and Biological Sciences","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126384375","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Mostly vitrification and thawing process are mostly used in cryopreservation. Now a day’s cryopreservation is becoming an apex technology for Health sector, as many organ and tissue transplant methods has been developed in recent time. Organs or tissues need to preserve properly before implantation, hence cryoprotectants plays a key role modern cryonics. This article seeks to provide answers for how cryoprotectants works and prevent tissue damage from shrinking ice crystals during freeze drying or vitrification. The various animal tissues, organs, lymphocytes, cartilages, bone marrow, proteins can be stored by using proper cryoprotectants. Optimization of cryoprotectants is a challenging task, as elevated concentration may cause cytotoxicity. This article also highlights the implication, challenges and recent advances of cryoprotectants along with its types. The importance of cryobank system and its importance were also being emphasized in this article. Further, importance of cryoprotectants in nano suspension preparation was also been discussed in this article.","PeriodicalId":182510,"journal":{"name":"Cryopreservation Biotechnology in Biomedical and Biological Sciences","volume":"79 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127848226","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The boar sperm membrane (SpM) has a particular composition of phospholipids, cholesterol, and proteins that make it highly sensitive to freezing. Just at the beginning and during the freezing protocol, the sperm are exposed to factors that destabilize the membrane and increase the sensitivity to cholesterol efflux and lipid peroxidation. This is a series of events similar to physiological capacitation; they are commonly called cryocapacitation. All the molecules reported as freezability marker and those considered potential mark ers are directly or indirectly related to the physiology of the SpM. The above gives rise to intensify studies tending to assess their importance as facilitators of the boar semen freezing. synthase a","PeriodicalId":182510,"journal":{"name":"Cryopreservation Biotechnology in Biomedical and Biological Sciences","volume":"243 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125504876","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It has been recently proposed that these methods could also increase the safety of ART treatments, by reducing complications such as ovar ian hyperstimulation during early pregnancy; thus, the policy of total freeze for later differed transfer of embryos has been proposed. Also of great importance, cryopreserva tion of oocytes and spermatozoa has permitted gamete storage for long term facilitating practical routines such as the gamete banking for third-party reproductive treatment. In this chapter, the clinical indications and treatment outcomes will be revised and data updated on the safety of using cryopreservation methods in ART treatments.","PeriodicalId":182510,"journal":{"name":"Cryopreservation Biotechnology in Biomedical and Biological Sciences","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130994850","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
