Cryopreservation is of significance in areas including tissue engineering, regenerative medicine, and organ transplantation. We investigated endothelial cell attachment and membrane integrity in a microvasculature model at high subzero temperatures in the presence of extracellular ice. The results show that in the presence of heterogeneous extracellular ice formation induced by ice nucleating bacteria, endothelial cells showed improved attachment at temperature minimums of -6 °C. However, as tem ...[more]
