I feel like adding magnetic nano particles to a heart to be able to freeze it is kind of in-elegant? Like, maybe the solution is something much simpler but we haven't found it yet.
- chasil 1y agoIt is not freezing, it is vitrifying. If ice crystals form, then cell walls are destroyed. The water must not expand as it cools. It must become an amorphous solid, a glass. Making this happen, reversibly, will need heat to manage stress. I can't imagine how much more complex brain vitrification will be. Hearts are far less challenging.
