Biostasis [r]: Add brief definition or description
Cryonics [r]: The low-temperature preservation of corpses in the vague hope that resuscitation may eventually become possible in the future. ^[e]
Cryopreservation [r]: A process where cells or whole tissues are preserved by cooling to low sub-zero temperatures. ^[e]
Cryoprotectant [r]: A substance that protects biological tissue from freezing damage. ^[e]
Cryosurgery [r]: Add brief definition or description
Freeze avoidance [r]: Add brief definition or description
Freeze drying [r]: Add brief definition or description
Freeze tolerance [r]: Add brief definition or description
Freezing [r]: The removal of heat from a liquid until it crystalizes. ^[e]
Hibernation [r]: Add brief definition or description
Hypothermia [r]: Mammalian body temperature significantly below normal, as a result of trauma, accidental cold exposure, disease or deliberate induction for treatment ^[e]
Vitrification [r]: A process of converting a material into a glass-like amorphous solid that is free from any crystalline structure, either by the quick removal or addition of heat, or by mixing with an additive. ^[e]
