The clinical role of oocyte cryopreservation in assisted reproduction, as an adjunct to sperm
and embryo cryopreservation, has been comparatively slow to evolve as a consequence of …

The ability to cryopreserve human oocytes and store them indefinitely would be beneficial
for cancer patients at risk of becoming sterile after therapy, allow women to delay …

The effect on the microtubule system of human oocytes of cooling to room temperature for
either 10 or 30 minutes has been investigated. Changes in spindle organization were found …

Successful cryopreservation of mammalian oocytes would provide a steady source of
materials for nuclear transfer and in vitro embryo production. Our goal was to develop an …

Frozen–thawed oocytes have a reduced rate of fertilization (48· 8%) when compared with
unfrozen controls (97%). In this study we have used zona-drilling to bypass the zona …

The purpose of this study was to evaluate effects of cooling and rewarming on the meiotic
spindle apparatus of bovine oocytes. In experiment 1, in vitro-matured bovine oocytes were …

Oocytes recovered from abattoir-derived ovaries were exposed to a cryoprotectant solution
(DAP213: 2 M DMSO, 1 M acetamide, 3 M propanediol, and 10% fetal calf serum in tissue …

Objective: To determine cryopreservation-induced alterations in the cytoskeleton of
metaphase II mouse oocytes and the implications of these alterations in functionality of the …

Over the last approximately 17 years freezing procedures have been developed allowing
high survival rates for nonsurgically collected bovine morulae and blastocysts. The vast …

Bovine oocytes were vitrified (V-oocytes) or frozen slowly (S-oocytes) at the germinal vesicle
(GV) stage or after maturation in vitro (IVM) and their survival assessed morphologically and …
