In a new study, researchers at the University of Minnesota and the Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute (SCBI) provide the first-ever reproducible evidence for the successful cryopreservation of zebrafish embryos. The study uses new gold nanotechnology and lasers to warm the embryo--the stumbling block in previous studies. The results have profound implications for human health, wildlife conservation, and aquaculture.
