Unveiling Cells’ Local Environment during Cryopreservation by Correlative In Situ Spatial and Thermal Analyses

Résumé

Cryopreservation is the only fully established procedure to extend the lifespan of living cells and tissues, a key to activities spanning from fundamental biology to clinical practice. Despite its prevalence and impact, the central aspects of cryopreservation, such as the cell’s physicochemical environment during freezing, remain elusive. Here we address that question by coupling in situ microscopic directional freezing to visualize cells and their surroundings during freezing with the freezing-medium phase diagram. We extract the freezing-medium spatial distribution in cryopreservation, providing a tool to describe the cell vicinity at any point during freezing. We show that two major events define the cells’ local environment over time: the interaction with the moving ice front and the interaction with the vitreous moving front, a term we introduce here. Our correlative strategy may be applied to cells relevant to clinical research and practice and may help in the design of new cryoprotective media based on local physicochemical cues.
