Anyone can give an informed opinion on what this means for cryonics, if true? A common-sense guess is that it would make cryonics less likely to work as the preservation of information would depend on finer structures but the magnitude of that effect depends on just how vulnerable 'the phosphorylation state of sites on microtubule lattices' is to vitrification or freezing damage. Is there a neuroscientist in the house?
You forgot to add the key phrase, "given the way cryonics organizations currently perform their suspensions." Every time you see some assertion about cryonics' alleged unworkability, you need to add that disclaimer. Otherwise you irrationally shut off the possibility of other approaches to the problems the cryonics project attempts to solve.
