Cryobiology is a scientific field that studies the effects of low temperatures on living organisms, cells, and biological systems. It encompasses various aspects of biology, medicine, and biophysics to understand how organisms cope with cold environments and how low temperatures can preserve biological materials. Key areas of focus in cryobiology include: 1. **Cryopreservation**: This is the process of preserving cells, tissues, or organs by cooling them to sub-zero temperatures to halt metabolic processes and prevent cellular damage.
