Cryopreservation – News and Features

Researchers developed the DRIVE method, which analyzes shared segments of the genome to identify undiagnosed cases of Long QT syndrome. The study highlights the potential for better detection of rare genetic variants in larger populations.

A study has revealed two distinct molecular subtypes of Crohn’s disease using organoids from adult stem cells, allowing for better understanding of the disease's mechanisms. The findings suggest treatments should be tailored based on these subtypes.

A UCLA team created a biobank of sarcoma organoids from 126 patients, enabling rapid drug screening. The organoids retained tumor characteristics, allowing identification of effective FDA-approved treatments for 59% of samples.

People who consume a regular amount of flavonoid-rich food like berries, tea and red wine tend to have a lower risk of dementia, according to a new study.

A study reveals more than 3,000 genetic changes in a cancer protection gene that heightens breast and ovarian cancer risk. This research enhances risk assessment for patients, especially those with a family history of cancer.

Consuming moderate amounts of coffee and caffeine regularly may offer a protective effect against developing multiple cardiometabolic diseases, including type 2 diabetes, coronary heart disease and stroke, according to new research.

Researchers developed a machine learning-based model to enhance cryoprotectant discovery. The new approach identifies molecules that prevent ice crystal growth during freezing.

New research has found four genes with some of the largest known effects on the timing of menopause discovered to date, providing new insight into links between menopause timing and cancer risk.

An overabundance of cloned white blood cells hampers the immune system and increases the risk of melanoma, a new study finds.

Magnetic nanotech could be used to rewarm organs for transplant, helping to extend the viability of human tissues.
