Cryopreservation of the collector urchin embryo, Tripneustes gratilla

This study develops a cryopreservation protocol for T. gratilla embryos using 1M Me2SO and a cooling rate of 9.7°C/min, achieving 85.5% survival and 50.8% maturation to the 4-arm echinopluteus stage.

The first proof of concept demonstration of nanowarming in coral tissue

This paper demonstrates the use of nanowarming and vitrification to successfully recover adult coral tissues from single-polyp microfragments, enabling year-round biobanking for reef restoration.

Cryopreservation and revival of Hawaiian stony corals via isochoric vitrification

This paper reports the first successful cryopreservation and revival of Hawaiian stony coral fragments using isochoric vitrification, demonstrating viability and a prototype pipeline for global coral conservation.

Metrics of Coral Microfragment Viability

This study assesses physiological stressors and viability of coral fragments during cryopreservation and their recovery.

Tank Fouling Community Enhances Coral Microfragment Growth

The paper tests different algal fouling communities in land-based coral microfragment culture to enhance growth and health, finding the Green Film method most effective in winter.

Securing algal endosymbiont communities for reef-building corals

This study optimizes cryopreservation techniques for coral symbionts, successfully banking and reusing them, but uptake by coral larvae remains low.

Nascent mutant Huntingtin exon 1 chains do not stall on ribosomes during translation but aggregates do recruit machinery involved in ribosome quality control

This study investigates how mutant Huntingtin exon 1 chains form inclusions in cells, finding that nascent chains do not stall on ribosomes but that ribosome quality control proteins are recruited into the aggregates.
