Similarly, it has been proposed that chilling sensitivity in plants was related to phase transitions in cell membranes, for example in chilling sensitive tomatoes. The membranes of those plants which were chill sensitive appeared to show a transition, below which, the lipids were in a rigid state and presumably less able to resist mechanical deformation intact. Membranes, which show continuous changes in fluidity, that is no sharp phase transitions, appeared more resistant. 

Clearly, a living system is more complex than most foods however, the postulation that mechanisms for chill sensitivity could reside in hydrophobic regions would be novel in the study of low-temperature storage in foods.

The recent development and application of methodologies sensitive at the single cell wall level has shown that traditional bulk analytical techniques average out important intrinsic heterogeneity in sampled populations. By exploring the diversity of cell walls using novel cryopreservation techniques for electron microscopy and non-invasive... 

The shift to the use of PBPCs over bone marrow for autologous HCT is primarily because of the more rapid engraftment and decreased health care resource use. Because the harvest occurs before administering the preparative regimen, autologous hematopoietic cells must be cryopreserved and stored for future use.
