X-Message-Number: 4961 From: (Brian Wowk) Newsgroups: sci.cryonics Subject: Re: New formula for Freezing Date: 10 Oct 95 04:36:46 GMT Message-ID: <> References: <> Reversible cryopreservation of the heart (or ANY major transplantable organ) would indeed be a major breakthrough. However, careful reading shows the article to be long on hype and short on results. Yes the POTENTIAL of this technology is enormous, but does the technology exist yet? The article does not state what temperature the frozen animal hearts were recovered from. Was it really -196'C, or is that still the ultimate objective that is yet to be reached? What journal will these results appear in? It's a bit hard to believe that some newcomer could do in two years what teams of professional cryobiologists could not do in a decade. Kevin, please cross post the article to the CryoNet mailing list. I'm sure there will be additional commentary there. ---Brian Wowk Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=4961
