Differential thermal analysis (DTA) has indicated that xylem ray parenchyma cells (XRPCs)
of hardwood species adapt to freezing of apoplastic water either by deep supercooling or by …

The in vivo survival rate of rabbit morulae after vitrification in a mixture of dimethyl
sulphoxide and ethylene glycol solution without protein supplement (WPS) was compared …

Day 7 bovine morulae and early blastocysts were randomly assigned to one of four
cryopreservation methods:(i) a modified conventional controlled slow freezing and stepwise …

If cells can be cooled alive to liquid nitrogen tem—perature, their biological processes are
arrested without decreasing viability during storage. Cryopreservation of mammalian …

Investigations were made into the low temperature preservation of pre-ovulatory human
oocytes by vitrification using a method of brief exposure of the oocytes to the vitrification …

Methodological studies were undertaken to test the validity of a three-step vitrification
procedure for bovine in vitro produced embryos using glycerol and ethylene glycol as …

The objective was to determine cryotolerance of in vitro cultured rabbit embryos to the open-
pulled straw (OPS) method. Overall, 844 rabbit embryos at pronuclear, 2-to 4-cell, 8-cell, and …

Cryopreservation enables banking of embryos for future use in medicine and in animal
breeding. It also enables protection of germ plasm of endangered species and unique …

Publisher Summary This chapter describes the cryopreservation of multicellular embryos
and reproductive tissues. The successful cryopreservation of ovarian tissue would have …

Experiments were conducted to find optimal conditions for obtaining high survival of
expanded mouse blastocysts after vitrification in glycerol-based solutions. The solutions …
