Journal History The journal was originated from regular collection of papers 'Kriobiologiya i Kriomeditsina' published by the Institute for Problems of Cryobiology and Cryomedicine (started April 1975, published initially annually, from 1980 semiannually); in 1985 it was transformed in 'Kriobiologia', the quarterly published journal; from 1991 there was two parallel titles published separately 'Problemy Kriobiologii' and 'Problems of Cryobiology' (in English) - quarterly published journals; from 1999 the journal 'Problemy Kriobiologii/Problems of Cryobiology' was published in Ukrainian (Russian) and English with side-by-side translation. Since 2013 the journal is being published under title 'Problemy Kriobiologii i Kriomediciny/Problems of Cryobiology and Cryomedicine' The Journal is registered in the State Register of Subjects in the Field of Printed Media, with the media identifier R30-03452 (Decision of the National Council of Ukraine on Television and Radio Broadcasting No. 1022 dated March 28, 2024). The coverage The Journal publishes the reviews and original papers on cryobiological and cryomedical research, in particular the elucidation of mechanisms of injuries occurring in biological objects and caused by the influence of low and ultra low temperatures; natural resistance of biologicals to cold and their recovery post effect; the development of effective methods of cryoprotection and technology of storage of biological resources under hypothermic and ultra low temperatures, application of hypothermia, cryotherapy and cryopreserved biologicals for treating various pathologies; cell and tissue based therapies and other issues of low-temperature biology and medicine, as well as development of devices and equipment for low temperature biology and medicine. The journal covers all topics related to low temperature biology, medicine and engineering. These include but are not limited to: low temperature storage of biologicals (human, animal or plant cells, tissues, and organs), including preparation for storage, thawing/warming, cell and tissue culturing etc. response of biologicals to low temperature; cold adaptation of animals and plants; utilisation of low temperature in medicine; experimental and clinical transplantation, cell and tissue based therapies; developing of cryobiological and cryomedical devices; organisation and functioning of low temperature banks.
