Encyclopedia
The word cryo or cryos is Greek and means "icy cold" (from crystallos). The word is also known from cryobiology
.
Cryos or Cryos International is also an international network of sperm banks.
Cryobiology
Cryobiology is the branch of biology that studies the effects of low temperatures on living things. The word cryobiology is derived from the Greek words "cryo" = cold, "bios" = life, and "logos" = science. In practice, cryobiology is the study of biological material or systems at temperatures below...
