There are scientists studying a frog which cab be frozen stiff over and over and comes back to life every time it's thawed.
There's no reason to inject every cell, BTW. All you have to do is modify the composition of the blood, as that goes to every cell, either directly or indirectly. So if the anti freezing component is in the blood it will be in every cell. It's an impressive sight, watching the researchers freeze these things to the point where they would break if dropped, and then watch them slowly thaw and hop away.

The cells within the frog contains natural antifreeze, if I recall correctly. Now if we can deliver this antifreeze agent to every cell in the body (solubility and its antigenic surface might be a problem), then you'd be onto something.
