With improved survival rates among cancer patients, fertility preservation is now being recognized as an issue of great importance. There are currently several methods of fertility preservation available in female cancer patients and the options and techniques via assisted reproduction and cryopreservation are increasing, but some are still experimental and continues to be evaluated. The establ...

In vitro maturation (IVM) is emerging as a popular technology at the forefront of fertility treatment and preservation. However, standard in vitro culture conditions usually increase reactive oxygen species (ROS), which have been implicated as one of the major causes for reduced embryonic developmental competence. It is well-known that higher than physiological levels of ROS triggers granulosa ...

objective: the present study is aimed to investigate in vitro thrombolytic activity of three bangladeshi medicinal plants averrhoa bilimbi (oxalidiaceae), clerodendrum viscosum (verbanaceae) and drynaria quercifolia (polypodiaceae). materials and methods: each the plant was extracted with methanol at room temperature and the concentrated methanolic extracts (mef) were fractionated by the modifi...

background: pentavalent antimonials are still the first choice treatment for leishmaniasis, but with low efficacy and resistance is emerging. in the present study, the effect of meglumine antimoniate (ma, glucantime) combined with paromomy-cin, miltefosine or allopurinol on in vitro susceptibility of leishmania tropica resistant isolate was evaluated. method : the drugs were obtained from comme...

improvements on embryo micromanipulation techniques led to the use of embryo biopsy in commercial embryo transfer programs for genetic analysis of preimplantation bovine embryos. the aim of this study was to evaluate the quality of bovine blastocyst derived from embryos biopsied at different precompacted morulae stages by assessment of cryosurvivability of the resulting blastocysts. the in vitr...

background: ovarian tissue transplantation is emerging technologies for fertility preservation. in addition, in vitro maturation (ivm) of oocytes retrieved from ovarian tissues may overcome the fertility defects in certain cases. objective: the aim was to evaluate the best site for ovarian tissue transplantation in mice. also, feasibility of ivm of oocytes retrieved from auto grafted ovarian ti...
