Authors: Gemma Ellis, Jiarong (Amy) Geng, Mackenzie Delilah Hao, Wankun (Elva) Liang, Lingfeng (Lenore) Liu, Mariana Moreno Garcia, Angel Shi, Annie Wang, Emily Wei, Alyssa Yang, Rene Zhao, Jiewen (Winnie) Zheng Teacher: Mr. James Greig Every day, 17 people in the United States die while waiting for organ transplants. Antifreeze proteins (AFPs) can lower the freezing point of water in blood vessels and show promise for improving cryopreservation techniques. There are four types of AFPs (I, II, III, IV).
