Figure 1

Schematic showing conventional cryopreservation process and sites of damage. Pathways for vitrification and slow cooling processes are indicated. Point where ice recrystallization inhibiting polymers (outside of context of this Perspective) can impact is shown, and the range of processes where membrane damage (a possible mechanism of action of polyampholytes) is also shown.
