Cryoprecipitate, also called cryo for short, or Cryoprecipitate Antihemophilic factor (AHF), is a frozen blood product prepared from blood plasma. [1] To create cryoprecipitate, Plasma is slowly thawed to 1–6 °C. A cold-insoluble precipitate is formed, which is collected by centrifugation, resuspended in a small amount of residual plasma ...
Simplified control circuit of human thermoregulation. [8]The core temperature of a human is regulated and stabilized primarily by the hypothalamus, a region of the brain linking the endocrine system to the nervous system, [9] and more specifically by the anterior hypothalamic nucleus and the adjacent preoptic area regions of the hypothalamus.
This glossary of biology terms is a list of definitions of fundamental terms and concepts used in biology, the study of life and of living organisms.It is intended as introductory material for novices; for more specific and technical definitions from sub-disciplines and related fields, see Glossary of cell biology, Glossary of genetics, Glossary of evolutionary biology, Glossary of ecology ...
Knowing—and manipulating—your "biological age"is certainly en vogue right, with longevity bros and our surging wellness era taking center stage in the public consciousness.But while it may be ...
Technicians preparing a body for cryopreservation in 1985. Cryonics (from Greek: κρύος kryos, meaning "cold") is the low-temperature freezing (usually at −196 °C or −320.8 °F or 77.1 K) and storage of human remains in the hope that resurrection may be possible in the future.
Cryobiology, the branch of biology that studies the effects of low temperatures on living things; Cryonics, the low-temperature preservation of people who cannot be sustained by contemporary medicine; Cryoprecipitate, a blood-derived protein product used to treat some bleeding disorders; Cryotherapy, medical treatment using cold
The term cryosupernatant (also called cryo-poor plasma, cryoprecipitate depleted, cryoprecipitate reduced plasma) refers to plasma from which the cryoprecipitate has been removed. It is used to treat thrombocytopenic purpura .
At least six major areas of cryobiology can be identified: 1) study of cold-adaptation of microorganisms, plants (cold hardiness), and animals, both invertebrates and vertebrates (including hibernation), 2) cryopreservation of cells, tissues, gametes, and embryos of animal and human origin for (medical) purposes of long-term storage by cooling to temperatures below the freezing point of water.
