X-Message-Number: 4239 From: (Anders Sandberg) Newsgroups: sci.cryonics Subject: Re: Cyroprotective Proteins Date: 18 Apr 1995 15:53:37 GMT Message-ID: <> References: <3mf67l$> How does cryoprotective proteins and carbohydrates work in nature? One interesting solution would be to add genes for the production of these substances to ourselves (a bit non-trivial at present, but gene-therapy is starting to get good), controlled by a regulator switch. When a suspension is imminent, an artificial hormone activates them and the body will be at least a bit less susceptible to freezing damage. -- Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=4239
