Summary

Cryopreservation, the science of preserving biological samples at low temperatures, has roots in nature and early human observations. The development of cryoprotective agents like glycerol and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) revolutionized its application in modern science.

Cryo-electron Microscopy

Conventional electron microscopy (EM) involves dehydration, fixation, and staining of biological samples, which distorts the native state of biological molecules and results in several artifacts. Also, the high-energy electron beam damages the sample and makes it difficult to obtain high-resolution images. These issues can be addressed using cryo-EM, which uses frozen samples and gentler electron beams. The technique was developed by Jacques Dubochet, Joachim Frank, and Richard Henderson, for...
