> It's technically possible to [transfect human cells](http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10657122), through a viral vector, with E. coli genes that make them express trehalose.

> Also this seems to be an area where cryonics and neurodegenerative disease research interests are aligned. For example, there is some interest in using trehalose in the brain as a treatment for [Huntington's](http://www.nature.com/nm/journal/v10/n2/abs/nm985.html) and [ALS](http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23851366).
