Cryobanking, the freezing of biological specimens to maintain their integrity for a variety of anticipated and unanticipated uses, offers unique opportunities to advance the basic knowledge of biological systems and their evolution. Notably, cryobanking provides a crucial opportunity to support conservation efforts for endangered species. Historically, cryobanking has been developed mostly in response to human economic and medical needs — these needs must now be extended to biodiversity conservation. Reproduction technologies utilizing cryobanked gametes, embryos and somatic cells are already vital components of endangered species recovery efforts. Advances in modern biological research (e.g. stem cell research, genomics and proteomics) are already drawing heavily on cryobanked specimens, and future needs are anticipated to be immense. The challenges of developing and applying cryobanking for a broader diversity of species were addressed at an international conference held at Trier University (Germany) in June 2008. However, the magnitude of the potential benefits of cryobanking stood in stark contrast to the lack of substantial resources available for this area of strategic interest for biological science — and society at large. The meeting at Trier established a foundation for a strong global incentive to cryobank threatened species. The establishment of an Amphibian Ark cryobanking programme offers the first opportunity for global cooperation to achieve the cryobanking of the threatened species from an entire vertebrate class. 相似文献

Human clinical and psychophysical observations suggest that the taste
system is able to compensate for losses in peripheral nerve input, since
patients do not commonly report decrements in whole mouth taste following
chorda tympani nerve damage or anesthesia. Indeed, neurophysiological data
from the rat nucleus of the solitary tract (NST) suggests that a release of
inhibition (disinhibition) may occur centrally following chorda tympani
nerve anesthesia. Our purpose was to study this possibility further. We
recorded from 59 multi- and single- unit taste-responsive sites in the rat
NST before, during and after recovery from chorda tympani nerve anesthesia.
During anesthesia, average anterior tongue responses were eliminated but no
compensatory increases in palatal or posterior tongue responses were
observed. However, six individual sites displayed increased taste
responsiveness during anesthesia. The average increase was 32.9%.
Therefore, disinhibition of taste responses was observed, but infrequently
and to a small degree in the NST At a subset of sites, chorda
tympani-mediated responses decreased while greater superficial
petrosal-mediated responses remained the same during anesthesia. Since this
effect was accompanied by a decrease in spontaneous activity, we propose
that taste compensation may result in part by a change in signal-to-noise
ratio at a subset of sites.
