A study on rat hippocampal slices showed that it is possible for vitrified slices cooled to a solid state at -130C to have viability upon re-warming comparable to that of control slices that had not been vitrified or cryopreserved. Ultrastructure of the CA1 region (the region of the brain most vulnerable to ischemic damage) of the re-warmed slices is seen to be quite well preserved compared to the ultrastructure of control CA1 tissue.
Is your point that while the second sentence is supported by the paper, the inference of "viability" is not?
