Objective To investigate the effects of self-made carriers on the cryopreservation of ovarian tissue of sheep. Methods Thirty-two ovaries were randomly assigned to fresh group,programmed freezing group,self-made carrier I vitrification group,and self-made carrier Ⅱ vitrification group.The morphology,proliferation,apoptosis,and estrogen level of the ovarian tissue in each group were observed. Results After cryopreservation,the morphology normal rate of the primordial follicles in programmed freezing group,self-made carrier I vitrification group,and self-made carrier Ⅱ vitrification group were 74.2%,72.8%,and 72.3%,respectively,lower than that(83.7%)in the fresh group(χ=13.079,P=0.004).The percentage of normal primary follicles in programmed freezing group was lower than that in the fresh group(χ=12.486,P=0.000).The percentage of normal primary follicles showed no significant difference between vitrification groups and fresh group(P=1.000,P=0.972).There was no significant difference in estrogen level or the positive expression rate of PCNA among the 4 groups(F=0.363,P=0.780;χ=0.359,P=0.949).The number of apoptotic cells in cryopreservation groups was significantly higher than that in the fresh group(F=37.584,P=0.000),and it was significantly higher in the programmed freezing group than in the two vitrification groups(F=18.992,P=0.000). Conclusion Compared with slow programmed freezing,the vitrification with self-made carriers could well preserve the activity of cells in large sheep ovarian tissue blocks.

Spray freeze drying (SFD) represents an emerging drying technique designed to produce a wide range of pharmaceuticals, foods, and active components with high quality and enhanced stability due to their unique structural characteristics. This method combines the advantages of the well-established techniques of freeze drying (FD) and spray drying (SD) while overcoming their challenges related to high process temperatures and durations. This is why SFD has experienced steady growth in recent years regarding not only the research interest, which is reflected by the increasing number of literature articles, but most importantly, the expanded market adoption, particularly in the pharmaceutical sector.

Distinguished by its exceptional sensitivity and specificity, Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) is a pivotal technology for pathogen detection. However, traditional PCR instruments that employ thermoelectric cooling (TEC) are often constrained by cost, efficiency, and performance variability resulting from the fluctuations in ambient temperature. Here, we present a thermal cycler that utilizes electromagnetic induction heating at 50 kHz and anti-freezing water cooling with a velocity of 0.

Within this study, a methodology for the numerical simulation of droplet freezing, including a micrometer texturized pattern, was developed. The finite volume method was then applied to simulate the behavior of water droplets. The procedure was divided into two processes: stabilization and freezing.

Freezing temperatures impose significant constraints on plant growth and productivity. While cold tolerance mechanisms have been extensively studied in model species, the molecular basis of freezing tolerance in naturally adapted plants remains underexplored. , an alpine plant with a strong freezing tolerance, provides a valuable model for investigating these adaptive mechanisms.

Flexible wearable sensors have obtained tremendous interest in various fields and conductive hydrogels are a promising candidate. Nevertheless, the insufficient mechanical properties, the low electrical conductivity and sensitivity, and the limited functional properties prevent the development of hydrogels as wearable sensors. In this study, an SFMA/BAChol/PAA/ZnCl hydrogel was fabricated with high mechanical strength and versatile comprehensive properties.
