Cryopreserving tissues and organs without damaging them requires a delicate dance through the principles of thermodynamics. Carnegie Mellon University’s Biothermal Technology Laboratory has a novel modeling approach for isochoric preservation to keep the work moving forward. Prem Solanki and Yoed Rabin have developed a new way of modeling the solidification of fluids in confined volumes, with applications to organ and tissue preservation. Their research is published in PLOS ONE.
