Andy, I think the Biostasis Roadmap is an excellent project. I talk about it a bit in my blog piece on the Global Cryonics Summit. Maybe we get you on our new podcast to talk about it?
Thanks for the kind words about the Biostasis Roadmap! Probably too busy to commit to a podcast episode right now, but thanks a lot for the suggestion, and hopefully at some point in the future.
6: The extracellular matrix contains a large number of proteins and carbohydrates. It can modulate ion flow, for example by altering diffusion in the extracellular space.
Around certain neurons, the extracellular space forms a specialized structure that encapsulates the cell body, dendrites, and axon initial segment, called perineuronal nets. Perineuronal nets can be identified by labeling tissue with the carbohydrates of a particular flower, Wisteria floribunda agglutinin (WFA).

Hi,
Do you mind linking the research to point #6?

Hello here is the study: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41593-024-01714-3. That background is in the introduction. Thanks for reading!
