  Cryobiology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cryobiology is the study of living organisms, organs, biological tissues or biological cells at low temperatures.
Unlike cryogenics or cryobiology, cryonics is not an established science and is viewed with skepticism by most scientists and doctors today (although there are many scientists involved in cryonics
Cryobiology history can be traced back to antiquity.

 Cryobiology: The Study of Life and Death at Low Temperatures
Cryobiology -- usually thought of as the study of the effects of subfreezing temperatures on biological systems -- stands at the interface between physics and biology.
One reason natural cryobiology is interesting is that nature has had millions of years to adapt organisms to the stresses of low temperatures.
There is clearly still plenty of work to do in cryobiology, both from a practical and from a theoretical point of view, but to me at least it seems that the greatest challenge is the cryopreservation of mammalian organs.

Because of this resiliency, the science of cryobiology, which is the study of life at reduced temperatures, is possible.
Cryobiology succeeds in preserving living systems at cryogenic temperatures when the destructive effects of low temperatures can be limited sufficiently during cooling to allow the protective effects of even lower temperatures to dominate.
Cryobiology is the branch of biology that studies life at below-normal temperatures.

Cryobiology is the science of studying the effects of very low temperature on life.
In cryobiology the nature of water’s transformation from a liquid solvent to a solid structure during freezing provides for the ability to preserve or destroy.
Cryobiology may sound like a brand new field created in the 21st century, but in fact the first documented study can be traced back to Sir Robert Boyle in his 1683 monograph “New Experiments and Observations Touching Cold”, in which this famous physicist documented the effects of freezing on living animals.

The physical principles of cryobiology are universal, which provides some coherence to the field, but the biosphere contains many surprises and twists, which adds endless fascination.
This includes, for example, human hypothermia (both deliberate and accidental) and even natural hibernation, which is a physiological modification of sleep that has allowed the physiological temperature range to be stretched to include temperatures that were previously fatal.

 Cellular cryobiology and anhydrobiology - physical stresses in cells at low temperature and/or low hydration
Cryobiology (the study of life at low temperatures) and anhydrobiology (the study of life at low water contents) have some features in common.
In this case, freezing damage and desiccation damage are similar and cryobiology and anhydrobiology overlap.

Cryonics is not cryobiology and cryobiology is not cryonics.
Cryobiology is an established contemporary science that studies low temperature effects on organisms and attempts to apply that knowledge to cryopreservation.
The classical (non-vitrification) cryopreservation methods of cryobiology are devoted to freezing cells or small collections of cells (embryos) at a cooling rate that minimizes loss of viability.
