BACKGROUND Infertility affects between 10 and 16% of couples worldwide. Twenty to 30%
of cases of infertility are due to a male factor, 20–35% to a female factor, and 25–40% are …

Simple Summary Oocyte cryopreservation is the most powerful technique for preserving the
genetic potential of individual females. However, the recent outcomes of this technology in …

Our aim was to optimize the cryoprotectant treatment for the preservation of immature
porcine cumulus-oocyte complexes (COCs) by solid surface vitrification. In each experiment …

Research question To what extent does vitrification affect the Ca 2+-releasing and activation
potential of mouse oocytes, which are commonly used to determine the oocyte activation …

Aim of the study was to investigate the effect of vitrification on viability, cytoskeletal integrity
and in vitro developmental competence after in vitro fertilization (IVF) of oocytes vitrified …

Vitrification is a powerful tool for the efficient production of offspring derived from
cryopreserved oocytes or embryos in mammalian species including domestic animals …

Cryopreservation of gametes and embryos, a technique widely applied in human infertility
clinics and to preserve desirable genetic traits of livestock, has been developed over 30 …

The process of reproductive in domestic livestock is one of the most important challenges of
animal husbandry. Fertility is an important trait that contributes to herd profitability, and it can …

The ability to cryopreserve oocytes without ultrastructural injury has been a concern in the
development and use of methods to preserve female reproduction. The stability of the cell …
