Antifreeze proteins (AFPs) are biological antifreezes with unique properties, including
thermal hysteresis (TH), ice recrystallization inhibition (IRI), and interaction with membranes …

As early as 1985, ice-free cryopreservation of mouse embryos at− 196° C by vitrification was
reported in an attempted alternative approach to cryostorage. Since then, vitrification …

A systematic approach was taken to assess the vitrification properties of ethylene glycol-
based solutions supplemented with carbohydrates. Solutions were prepared by weight …

Over the past 30 years many cryopreservation procedures have been applied to oocytes,
embryos, sperm, ovarian and testicular tissue. Over this time many, often specialized, terms …

Extreme environments present a wealth of biochemical adaptations. Thermal hysteresis
proteins (THPs) have been found in vertebrates, invertebrates, plants, bacteria and fungi …

The cryopreservation of gametes and embryos is a technique widely used in reproductive
biology. This technology helps in the reproductive management of domesticated animals …

In this study, the cryoprotectant ethylene glycol (EG) was tested for its ability to improve and
facilitate the cryopreservation ofin vitroproduced (IVP) bovine embryos. Embryos were …

The purpose of this study was to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of vitrification of human
pronuclear stage (PN) embryos in the human assisted reproduction laboratory. Using single …

The aim of the study was to analyse the toxicity, the osmolar and cryoprotective activity of
ethylene glycol (ETG) in terms of survival rate (SR), cleavage rate (CR) and expanded …

BACKGROUND: An effective freezing–thawing technique is crucial for the clinical
application of human embryonic stem (ES) cells. The aim of this study was to find an optimal …
