Almost a decade has passed since the last textbook on the science of cryobiology, Life in the Frozen State, was published. Recently, there have been some serious tectonic shifts in cryobiology which were perhaps not seen on the surface but will have a profound effect on both the future of cryobiology and the development of new cryopreservation methods. We feel that it is time to revise the previous paradigms and dogmas, discuss the conceptually new cryobiological ideas, and introduce the recently emerged practical protocols for cryopreservation. The present books, ""Current Frontiers in Cryobiology"" and ""Current Frontiers in Cryopreservation"" will serve the purpose. This is a global effort by scientists from 27 countries from all continents and we hope it will be interesting to a wide audience.

"Die Kryokonservierung unbefruchteter Eizellen stellt eine relativ neuartige Technologie zum Erhalt weiblichen Fertilität dar. Immer öfter wird dieses Verfahren dabei auch ohne Vorliegen einer medizinischen Indikation in Anspruch genommen ("Social Egg Freezing"). Der Autor unterzieht - aufbauend auf einer empirischen und rechtlichen Analyse - diese nicht unumstrittene Technik einer ethischen Analyse. Ein spezieller Fokus wird dabei auf die Frage gelegt, in welchem Verhältnis Social Egg Freezing zur philosophischen Frage nach dem guten Leben steht. Hierbei wird das Argument entwickelt, dass ein ernstzunehmendes Gefahrenmoment dieser Technik gerade darin liegt, existentielle Lebensentscheidungen immer weiter aufzuschieben"--

Cryonics—also known as cryopreservation or cryosuspension—is the preservation of legally dead individuals at ultra-low temperatures. Those who undergo this procedure hope that future technology will not only succeed in reviving them, but also cure them of the condition that led to their demise. In this sense, some hope that cryopreservation will allow people to continue living indefinitely. This book discusses the moral concerns of cryonics, both as a medical procedure and as an intermediate step toward life extension. In particular, Minerva analyses the moral issues surrounding cryonics-related techniques (including the hypothetical cryosuspension of fetuses as an alternative to abortion) by focusing on how they might impact the individuals who undergo cryosuspension, as well as society at large. .

Plant Cryopreservation: A Practical Guide is a unique resource for plant scientists in many fields. This compilation provides over 100 ready-to-use protocols for plant types from algae and bryophytes to a range of flowering plants. It includes techniques for diverse plant parts such as dormant buds, pollen, and apical meristems, and for cell types such as suspension and callus cultures. Five introductory chapters describe theoretical principles, practical aspects of long-term cryopreserved storage, and details of the main cryopreservation techniques. The remaining 14 chapters are separated by plant type. Each chapter briefly reviews the literature and includes ready-to-use protocols designed for easy transfer into the lab and adaptation to new species.
