Thermomechanical stress analyses of nanowarming-assisted recovery from cryopreservation by vitrification in human heart and rat heart models
Fig 2
Thermal history results for the benchmark case of a rat heart model contained in a cryobag, Case I (Table 3), where results refer to the heart muscle during (a) cooling, and (b) rewarming. Note: During cooling, the minimum cooling rate dips below the CCR. This rate corresponds to the region that has cooled down the fastest and is already at equilibrium with the chamber.
