Cryopreservation of human ovarian tissue using dimethylsulphoxide and propanediol-sucrose as cryoprotectants

Human Ovarian Tissue Cryopreservation as Fertility Reserve

Ovarian tissue and oocyte cryopreservation

There are relatively few effective clinical options for preserving female fertility, particularly following aggressive chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy treatment protocols. This document reviews the scientific background, current technology, clinical results and potential future applications of two methods for preserving female fertility—ovarian tissue cryopreservation and oocyte cryopreservati...

P-55: Cryopreservation of Rooster Semen Using Hand-Made Cryopreservation Media Supplemented with Different Cryoprotectants

Background Cryopreservation procedure for poultry semen is not reliable due to structural and biochemical damages which can lead to reduction in sperm quality and fertility. Development of cryopreservation medium has crucial effects for successful recovery of sperm after freezing. The objective of this study was assessment of cryopreservation of rooster semen using hand-made cryopreservation me...

Vitrification versus controlled-rate freezing in cryopreservation of human ovarian tissue.

BACKGROUND Controlled-rate freezing of ovarian cortical tissue for preservation of fertility among young women facing chemo- or radio-therapy is a widely accepted procedure. To improve the method for cryopreservation of ovarian tissue, particularly the stroma, we carried out a systematic comparison of vitrification versus slow programmed freezing. METHODS Ovarian tissue from 20 women, donated...

Ovarian tissue cryopreservation and bioethical discourse.

As the chapters in this volume demonstrate, like other nascent medical technologies ovarian tissue cryopreservation (OTC) raises no earth-shatteringly new moral questions. Rather, it poses old moral questions in new ways, thus shedding light not only on our old answers but also on our old methods of reaching them. My task here is to point out the ways in which OTC forces us to embrace important...
