What is Cryopreservation? And how does fertility preservation work?
Cryopreservation is the process of preserving biological material, such as cells, tissues, or organs, at very low temperatures to prevent them from decaying. This technique involves cooling the biological material to temperatures below -130°C, typically using liquid nitrogen, which stops all metabolic activity and preserves the sample in a state of suspended animation. Cryopreservation is…
