PNAS-Paper on cryopreservation of brain tissue highlighted in Nature
Researchers at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) and Uniklinikum Erlangen have succeeded in preserving brain tissue through extreme deep freezing. After thawing, the neurons began exchanging electrical signals again. The procedure could be used, for example, to preserve brain tissue removed during surgery so that it can be examined later. This could also facilitate the development of drugs. The research findings have been published in PNAS https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2516848123 and highlighted in Nature https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-026-00756-w
