Nanocelluloses were identified as new materials for ice recrystallization inhibition (IRI); however, conventional nanocelluloses aggregate and lose IRI activity at high ionic strengths, which limit their application as cryoprotectants. In this study, we synthesized a novel group of nanocelluloses - electrosterically stabilized cellulose nanocrystals (ECNCs), which remained dispersed and IRI-active at high ionic strengths. ECNCs improved the post-thaw viability of HCT-116 colorectal cancer cells in slow/fast freezing-slow thawing protocols in the presence of 1-20% v/v dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), as well as in slow/fast freezing-fast thawing protocols at reduced DMSO concentrations. The effectiveness in cryoprotection did not match the IRI activity in ECNCs, polyethylene glycol (PEG), and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA); and in ECNCs with different surface charge densities. Overall, ECNCs demonstrated IRI and cryoprotection activities, but the mechanism of cryoprotection remains unknown.This work evaluates different dendrimer-silica supports for the immobilization of enzymes by multipoint covalent binding. Thermolysin was immobilized on two dendrimers (PAMAM and carbosilane) with two different generations (zero (G0) and first (G1)). Results were compared with a control, a silica support functionalized with a monofunctional molecule. Dendrimers increased the number of available sites to bind the enzyme. Despite the enzyme was immobilized on all supports, G0 dendrimers immobilized a 30% more enzyme than G1. Thermolysin immobilized on G0 dendrimer supports showed the highest activity and could be employed in three consecutive hydrolysis
