Cryopreservation of Testicular Tissue
نویسنده
چکیده
Immediate use of freshly collected testis tissue in diagnosis or in reproductive technologies is not always possible or desirable. Therefore, the ability to properly preserve the tissue for varying intervals is an essential step for maximizing the use of the source tissue. Preservation of gametes and gonads is a topic of interest in reproductive biomedicine. Other chapters in this book have elegantly covered current knowledge on the cryopreservation of sperm, oocytes, and early embryos as well as ovarian tissue, among other cells and tissues. However, the main objective of this chapter is to provide a focused discussion of the importance, methodology, potential applications, and limitations for applying cryopreservation to testicular tissue.

Background: Although testicular tissue cryopreservation could be advantageous for fertility preservation in cancerous children, the possibility of apoptosis incidence should not be ignored. Our aim was evaluation of the apoptosis incidence in mouse testicular tissue after vitrification and short-term culture. Materials and Methods: Testes of 7days old NMRI male mice were isolated, divided and d...
