Fundamental Aspects of Gamete Cryobiology

بررسی قرارداد انجماد جنین و گامت (شرایط اساسی صحت، تعهدات طرفین، ضمانت اجرای آنها و صور انحلال)

Embryos and gamete cryopreservation contract is a contract between the embryos cryopreservation applicant and cryopreservation centers to freeze and preserve their embryos and gamete. This article aims to review constitutional conditions of validity, parties` obligation, sanction and dissolution methods of embryos and gamete cryopreservation contract. Research method has been revision in some p...

Gamete and Embryo Donation and Surrogacy in Australia: The Social Context and Regulatory Framework

The hydrophobic effect and its role in cold denaturation.

The hydrophobic effect is considered the main driving force for protein folding and plays an important role in the stability of those biomolecules. Cold denaturation, where the native state of the protein loses its stability upon cooling, is also attributed to this effect. It is therefore not surprising that a lot of effort has been spent in understanding this phenomenon. Despite these efforts,...

Gamete preservation.

With the increase in survivorship following cancer for women in their reproductive years, as well as an increase in survivorship with childhood cancers, there is a demand for perfecting current fertility preservation methods and generating new options for patients who are unable to pursue the conventional course of fertility treatments. Cryopreservation using a slow-cooling method for embryos i...

Effect of freezing rate on motility, adenosine triphosphate content and fertilizability in beluga sturgeon (Huso huso) spermatozoa.

Broodstock selection programs are currently underway for sturgeon species. To complement and further these selection programs we need to develop sperm cryopreservation procedures. In the present study, we describe the effects of freezing rate (-10°C, -15°C, -20°C, -30°C and -40°C/min) on gamete quality characteristics (i.e., duration of motility (s), motility percentage (%), ATP content (nmol/1...
