Freezing of biomaterials is important in a wide variety of biomedical applications, including cryopreservation and cryosurgeries. For the success of these applications to various biomaterials, biophysical mechanisms, which determine freezing-induced changes in cells and tissues, need to be well understood. Specifically, the significance of the intracellular mechanics during freezing is not well understood. Thus, we hypothesize that cells interact during freezing with the surroundings such as suspension media and the extracellular matrix (ECM) via two distinct but related mechanisms—water transport and cytoskeletal mechanics. The underlying rationale is that the cytoplasm of the cells has poroelastic nature, which can regulate both cellular water transport and cytoskeletal mechanics. A poroelasticity-based cell dehydration model is developed and confirmed to provide insight into the effects of the hydraulic conductivity and stiffness of the cytoplasm on the dehydration of cells in suspension during freezing. We further investigated the effect of the cytoskeletal structures on the cryoresponse of cells embedded in the ECM by measuring the spatio-temporal intracellular deformation with dermal equivalent as a model tissue. The freezing-induced change in cell, nucleus and cytoplasm volume was quantified, and the possible mechanism of the volumetric change was proposed. The results are discussed considering the hierarchical poroelasticity of biological tissues.

Deposits of biofluid droplets on surfaces (such as respiratory droplets formed during an expiratory event fallen on surfaces) are composed of the water based salt protein solution that may also contain an infection (bacterial/viral). The final patterns of the deposit formed are dictated by the composition of the fluid and flow dynamics within the droplet. This work reports the spatio temporal, topological regulation of deposits of respiratory fluid droplets and control of motility of bacteria by tweaking flow inside droplets using non contact vapor mediated interactions. When evaporated on a glass surface, respiratory droplets form haphazard multiscale dendritic, cruciform shaped precipitates using vapor mediation as a tool to control these deposits at the level of nano, micro, millimeter scales. We morphologically control dendrite orientation, size and subsequently suppress cruciform-shaped crystals. The nucleation sites are controlled via preferential transfer of solutes in the droplets; thus, achieving control over crystal occurrence and growth dynamics. The active living matter like bacteria is also preferentially segregated with controlled motility without attenuation of its viability and pathogenesis. For the first time, we have experimentally presented a proof of concept to control the motion of live active matter like bacteria in a near nonintrusive manner. The methodology can have ramifications in biomedical applications like disease detection, controlling bacterial motility, and bacterial segregation.
