How can human cells and tissues can be preserved for extended times, without damage? How can complex solutions of biomolecules be stored for decades, without loss of activity? How can cells, tissues and biomolecules be protected from biological decay? The research team believes the answer to these questions lies in a phenomenon that is abundant in nature, but is only poorly understood: dormancy. The central objective of this project is the comprehensive investigation of the underlying biological, chemical and physical mechanisms of entering into and emerging from dormancy. Specifically...
