  • It is not yet known whether aquaporins play a role in accelerating the large cellular water losses that must accompany freezing for colligative cryoprotection to be effective.

  • This occurs primarily by the mechanism of colligative cryoprotection, as in terrestrial animals.

  • The mechanism of cryoprotection appears to be simple colligative action, as in cryopreservation, with the additional benefit of stabilization of protein structure against low temperature denaturation.

  • A multicomponent cryoprotection scheme is common, to reduce the concentrations of any given cryoprotectant to sub-toxic levels.

  • When the number of cells exposed to this concentration varies, so does the additive's ability to provide cryoprotection (e.g. by stabilize the membrane).
