TL;DR: In this article, the authors used mouse embryos to examine the feasibility of obtaining high survival following vitrification of both the intra and extracellular solutions and report that in properly controlled conditions embryos seem to survive in high proportions after cryopreservation in the absence of ice.
Abstract: The failure of complex mammalian organs, such as the kidney, to function following freezing to low temperatures is thought to be due largely to mechanical disruption of the intercellular architecture by the formation of extracellular ice. Classical approaches to the avoidance of ice formation through the imposition of ultra-rapid cooling and warming rates or by gradual depression of the equilibrium freezing point during cooling to -80 degrees C have not been adequate. An alternative approach relies on the ability of highly concentrated aqueous solutions of cryoprotective agents to supercool to very low temperatures. At sufficiently low temperatures, these solutions become so viscous that they solidify without the formation of ice, a process termed vitrification. When embryo suspensions are cryopreserved using conventional procedures, this supercooling behaviour allows intracellular vitrification, even in the presence of extracellular ice. We have therefore used mouse embryos to examine the feasibility of obtaining high survival following vitrification of both the intra- and extracellular solutions and report here that in properly controlled conditions embryos seem to survive in high proportions after cryopreservation in the absence of ice.

TL;DR: Vista is a program for visualizing global DNA sequence alignments of arbitrary length that has a clean output, allowing for easy identification of similarity, and is easily configurable, enabling the visualization of alignments at different levels of resolution.
Abstract: VISTA is a program for visualizing global DNA sequence alignments of arbitrary length. It has a clean output, allowing for easy identification of similarity, and is easily configurable, enabling the visualization of alignments of various lengths at different levels of resolution. It is currently available on the web, thus allowing for easy access by all researchers.

TL;DR: The data show independent associations between short-term exposure to PM10 and PM2.5 and daily all-cause, cardiovascular, and respiratory mortality in more than 600 cities across the globe, and reinforce the evidence of a link between mortality and PM concentration established in regional and local studies.
Abstract: BACKGROUND: The systematic evaluation of the results of time-series studies of air pollution is challenged by differences in model specification and publication bias.METHODS: We evaluated the assoc ...
