Cryopreservation of semen and artificial insemination have an important, positive impact on
cattle production, and product quality. Through the use of cryopreserved semen and artificial …

Basic concepts of cryopreservation and the causes of cryoinjury are reviewed. The possible
roles of cryoprotectants and additives are considered in the context of their putative …

Thirty-five years ago the pioneering paper in Science (240: 1131) on the relationship
between sperm DNA integrity and pregnancy outcome was featured as the cover issue …

The genetic improvement of agriculturally important species and disease control are of
fundamental importance to the success of a sustainable agri-food industry. In this sense …

Background Cryopreservation is a key method of preservation of biological material for both
medical treatments and conservation of endangered species. In order to avoid cellular …

With climate change creating a more volatile atmosphere, heatwaves that create thermal
stress for living systems will become stronger and more frequent. Using the flour beetle …

While semen cryopreservation is successfully used for a few species, application to other
species can be problematic. Here, I argue that species differences in female tract anatomy …

In the present study, we provide evidence for the production of reactive oxygen species
(ROS) during cryopreservation of bovine spermatozoa. Cooling and thawing of spermatozoa …

Growing evidence suggests that the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and their
detoxification by antioxidants plays a very important role in fertility. However, the relationship …

Empirical approaches to semen cryopreservation have resulted in the production of young in
a broad range of species. However, acceptable levels of fertility in most domestic animal …
