Abstract
Cryopreservation is a common way for long-term storage of therapeutical proteins, erythrocytes, and mammalian cells. For cryoprotection of these biosamples to keep their structural integrity and biological activities, it is essential to incorporate highly efficient cryoprotectants. Currently, permeable small molecular cryoprotectants such as glycerol and dimethyl sulfoxide dominate in cryostorage applications, but they are harmful to cells and human health. As acting in the extracellular space, membrane-impermeable macromolecular cryoprotectants, which exert remarkable membrane stabilization against cryo-injury and are easily removed post-thaw, are promising candidates with biocompatibility and feasibility. Water-soluble hydroxyl-containing polymers such as poly(vinyl alcohol) and polyol-based polymers are potent ice recrystallization inhibitors, while polyampholytes, polyzwitterions, and bio-inspired (glyco)polypeptides can significantly increase post-thaw recovery with reduced membrane damages. In this review, the synthetic macromolecular cryoprotectants are systematically summarized based on their synthesis routes, practical utilities, and cryoprotective mechanisms. It provides a valuable insight in development of highly efficient macromolecular cryoprotectants with valid ice recrystallization inhibition activity for highly efficient and safe cryopreservation of cells.

Abstract
The development of new cryoprotectants for cryopreservation of cells has attracted considerable interest. Herein, five calixarene-based CPAs (SC4A, S-S-C4A, S-SO2-C4A, SBAC4A, and CAC4A) were developed, and their IRI activity, DIS property and cryoprotective effect were studied. SBAC4A with a sulphobetaine zwitterion and SC4A with sulfo group modification possessed better cryoprotective effects than the other calixarene-based CPAs, especially for SBAC4A with the enhanced cell viabilities of 16.16 ± 1.78%, 12.60 ± 1.15% and 14.90 ± 1.66% against MCF-7, hucMSCs and A549 cells, respectively. This result provides a supramolecular principle for developing novel CPAs with consideration of the factors of hydrogen bonding, the macromolecular crowding principle and the three-dimensional (3D) structure.

Abstract
Cyclodextrin-based cryoprotectants were developed. α-TMCD, which can be easily put into large-scale production, showed enhanced cell viabilities of 19.97 ± 0.78%, 13.93 ± 4.46% and 19.10 ± 0.95% against GES-1, hucMSCs and A549 cells. Moreover, the viable cells observed by light microscope imaging showed that the enhanced hucMSC cell number percentage of α-TMCD was 103.2%. An α-TMCD-DMSO-based CPA exhibited an enhanced cryoprotective effect by a mechanism of DMSO-enhanced cell penetrating effect and α-TMCD-DMSO synergistically enhanced IMA ability. α-TMCD exhibited potential for the discovery of macrocycle-molecule-based cryoprotectants.
