Preservation of female genetics is currently done primarily by means of oocyte and embryo
cryopreservation. The field has seen much progress during its four-decade history, progress …

Objective: Cryopreservation of embryos and oocytes has become an essential service for
infertility treatment. The clinical application of this technology should ensure optimal survival …

Long-term preservation of complex engineered tissues and organs at cryogenic
temperatures in the absence of ice has been prevented to date by the difficulty of …

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 …

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

Two hundred years have passed since the first description of supercooled water by Gey-
Lussac to the recently high survival rates of embryo and oocytes after vitrification. This …

Cryoprotectant toxicity is a fundamental limiting factor for the successful cryopreservation of
living systems by both freezing and vitrification, and the ability to negate it would be …

The susceptibility of in vitro matured (IVM) porcine oocytes to be fertilized in vitro after
vitrification was investigated. IVM oocytes were cryopreserved by solid surface vitrification …

Solutions used for vitrification or rapid cooling of embryos usually contain high
concentrations of penetrating cryoprotectants. At these concentrations embryos can tolerate …

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 …
