In recent times, reproductive biotechnologies have emerged and started to replace the
conventional techniques. It is noteworthy that for sustained livestock productivity, it is …

Buffaloes are raised by small farm holders primarily as source of draft power owing to its
resistance to hot climate, disease, and stress conditions. Over the years, transformation of …

Vitrification is an alternative to slow-rate freezing for cryopreserving bovine embryos.
However, this technology requires simplification if it is to be used under field conditions. The …

Somatic cells were isolated from cryopreserved semen of 4 buffalo bulls, 3 of which had died
over 10 years earlier, and were established in culture. The cells expressed cytokeratin-18 …

Cryopreservation of oocytes/embryos is an important technique for genetic resources;
however, the success of vitrification in pig oocytes remained at a relatively lower level due to …

During the past decade, vitrification has been acknowledged as an efficient alternative to
traditional slow-rate freezing in both human and animal embryology. The buffalo is the major …

We examined the effects of treating buffalo skin fibroblast donor cells with trichostatin A
(TSA), a histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor, and 5-aza-2′-deoxycytidine (5azadC), a …

Embryo cryopreservation is an important tool to preserve endangered species. As a
cryoprotectant for mouse oocytes, antifreeze protein from Anatolica polita (ApAFP914) has …

The objectives of the present study were to investigate the effect of vitrification on the
expression of the key genes associated with blastocyst developmental potential (β-catenin …

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of early developmental stages at which
Cryotop vitrification is performed on subsequent survival and in vitro development of porcine …
