Cryobiology

Cryobiology is the study of how living organisms respond to extremely low temperatures. It explores how freezing affects cells, tissues, and entire organisms, focusing on processes like preservation and recovery. This field is important for developing techniques to store biological materials, such as sperm, eggs, and embryos, for future use in fields like medicine and agriculture. By understanding how to safely freeze and thaw living cells, cryobiology plays a crucial role in advances like organ transplantation, infertility treatments, and conservation of endangered species.
