I-10: Vitrification of Baboon Ovarian Tissue:Will Vitrification Replace Conventional Freezing for Ovarian Tissue Cryopreservation?
Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of a vitrification protocol developed by our group to cryopreserve ovarian tissue. For this, we used ovaries from non-human primates in order to have an animal model close to the clinical setting. Materials and Methods: Ovarian biopsies from five adult baboons were vitrified, warmed and autografted. After five months, follicle survi...
متن کاملOvarian Tissue Vitrification: Modalities, Challenges and Potentials
Ovarian tissue cryopreservation is the key step towards the establishment of an ovarian tissue bank or the preservation of ovarian tissue for patients scheduled for gonadotoxic cancer therapies, aiming for fertility restoration later on. Conventional cryopreservation, or slow freezing, has been the mainstay of ovarian tissue cryopreservation. Vitrification has recently emerged as a new trend fo...
متن کاملChapter 13 Human Ovarian Tissue Vitrification.
Ovarian freezing and transplantation has garnered increasing interest as a potential way of preserving fertility in cancer patients as well as for women who just wish to delay childbearing. This chapter spells out our techniques of ovarian cortex vitrification and results for frozen compared to fresh ovarian cortex transplantation (in one single series from one center for the sake of consistenc...
متن کاملHuman ovarian tissue: vitrification versus conventional freezing.
Sir, In the challenging paper by Wang et al. (2008), the authors have reported about an effective method of vitrification of human ovarian tissue with direct contact of cells in liquid nitrogen, named needle immersed vitrification. Childbirth after cryopreservation of ovarian tissue is now a reality (Donnez et al., 2004; Demeestere et al., 2007; Meirow et al., 2007; Andersen et al., 2008) and t...
متن کاملVitrification of human ovarian tissue: a practical and relevant alternative to slow freezing
BACKGROUND Cryopreservation of ovarian tissue can be used to preserve the fertility of patients who are about to receive treatment(s) that could compromise their future ovarian function. Here we evaluate the effectiveness of a vitrification protocol by carrying out a systematic comparison with a conventional slow-freezing method on human ovarian tissue. METHODS Human ovarian samples (mean age...
