Have any cryopreserved species been restored to life ?
Bull sperm have been successfully cryopreserved in liquid nitrogen and used for fertilization since the early 1950s. Since 1982 countless human embryos have been stored in liquid nitrogen and subsequently developed into normal children. Additionally, nematode worms have been successfully cryopreserved in liquid nitrogen and then revived.
