[...] la cryoconservation a des dizaines d'applications. Nous nous en servons couramment dans les banques de sang, de sperme et maintenant en banques de tissus, [pour lesquels] on doit [...] faire le choix d'un cryoprotectant de type intra ou extracellulaire. [...] la cryoconservation a d'autres utilités. À San Diego, un «Frozen Zoo» a vu le jour et celui-ci détient deux réservoirs isolés conservant à -230 °C les échantillons cellulaires de sperme, de tissus et de sang de plus de 2300 animaux de 300 espèces et sous-espèces menacées. 4, record 1, French, - cryoconservation
