Abstract
Methods are disclosed that provide for the preservation of living human and other cells at room temperature or higher temperatures which can be applied to research, medical and defense applications. These methods represent a significant improvement relative to currently used methods that employ preservation at cryogenic temperatures. Using these methods, living human and other cells can be stored at room temperature or higher, and subsequently be recovered as living cells capable of dividing and exhibiting other well recognized properties of living cells.
