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

A review of in vitro gamete maturation and embryo culture and potential impact on future animal biotechnology.

This review considers the relationship of in vitro gamete maturation and embryo culture to the future development of animal biotechnology. The areas reviewed are oocyte maturation in vitro and embryo culture and their importance for successful in vitro embryo production. The rapidly developing area of spermatogonial cell transplantation and culture is also reviewed. The scientific milestones le...

Comparison between Quality of Cryopreserved Embryos Generated from Short and Long Gamete Incubation

Background The purpose was to investigate the effect of the duration of gamete incubation on fertilization rate, embryo cleavage, and embryo quality before and after freezing in mice. MaterialsAndMethods Ovulated oocytes collected from superovulated mice after ip injection of PMSG and hCG were divided randomly into control and experimental groups. Oocytes from the control group were inseminated...

I-12: Optimal Strategy toward Fertility Preservation: In Vivo and In Vitro Post-Thaw Options in Gamete, Embryo and Ovarian Tissue Cryostorage

Background: Oocyte, embryo and ovarian tissue cryopreservation are proposed for fertility preservation to cancer patients who hope to be mothers after getting rid of the disease. Materials and Methods: Embryo cryopreservation is not possible for unmarried single girls without sperm partner and oocyte retrieval is a long time procedure. Thus ovarian tissue cryopreservation is suggested for ferti...

RGD-Modified Nano-Liposomes Encapsulated Eptifibatide with Proper Hemocompatibility and Cytotoxicity Effect

Background: Eptifibatide (Integrilin®) is a hepta-peptide drug which specifically prevents the aggregation of activated platelets. The peptide drugs are encapsulated into nanolipisomes in order to decreasing their side effects and improving their half-life and bioavailability. Objectives: In this study, the in vitro cytotoxicity and hemocompatibi...
