Cryopreservation of growing oocytes enriches the choice of timing and location of artificial embryo production. However, completion of oocyte growth after warming is crucial when using such cryopreserved oocytes. Our research objective was to develop a sequential system that incorporates cryopreservation of growing bovine oocytes and their subsequent in vitro growth. Oocyte-granulosa cell compl...

Cryopreservation is a long-term storage technique to preserve the biological material without deterioration for extended period of time at least several thousands of years. The ability to preserve and store both maternal and paternal gametes provides a reliable source of fish genetic material for scientific and aquaculture purposes as well as for conservation of biodiversity. Successful cryopre...

Spermatozoa cryopreservation is an effective method for maintaining male fertility in humans. Nevertheless, there are some limitations of sperm cryopreservation, which called as cell injury by cryoprotectant, that cannot be avoided. This process will affect embryo quality. Therefore, it mandatory to modify cryoprotectant spermatozoa improve review aimed summarize the modification can damage cel...

OPINION STATEMENT With improving survival rates for pediatric and young adult cancer patients, considerations regarding the long-term effects of therapy have become more important. Cancer therapies are known to pose reproductive risks, though the effects may be unpredictable. All at-risk patients should have a discussion about potential treatment-related infertility before the onset of cancer t...

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 this work, we have studied the impact of various stages cryopreservation by vitrification in ethylene glycolsucrose medium on plasma membranes adhesive properties 8-cell murine embryos and their specific electrical conductivity. Embryos were divided into following experimental groups: control, group 1 (incubation medium) 2 (complete cycle cryopreservation). The embryo exposure to did not aff...

BACKGROUND Measures to prevent assisted reproductive technologies (ART) mix-ups, such as labeling of all labware and double-witnessing protocols, are currently in place in fertility clinics worldwide. Technological solutions for electronic witnessing are also being developed. However, none of these solutions eliminate the risk of identification errors, because gametes and embryos must be transf...

BACKGROUND In order to optimize blastocyst cryopreservation, vitrification was introduced as the routine procedure instead of slow freezing. The outcome of a closed blastocyst vitrification system was evaluated in relation to the blastocyst score before cryopreservation in single embryo transfers (SETs). METHODS Supernumerary blastocysts of IVF/ICSI patients with a fresh Day 5 transfer were v...

cryopreservation and sexing of embryos are integrated into commercial embryo transfer technologies. to improve the effectiveness of vitrification of in vitro produced buffalo embryos, two experiments were conducted. the first evaluated the effect of exposure time (2 and 3 min) and developmental stage (morula and blastocysts) on the viability and development of vitrified buffalo embryos. morphol...

The implantation of embryo depends on the quality of the embryo and the receptivity of the endometrium. While the factors affecting embryo quality were optimized, the implantation rates did not reach the desirable levels. This directs the blaming for endometrial receptivity which already has been affected by supra-physiological levels of hormone, namely estradiol, in controlled ovarian hypersti...
