BACKGROUND Cryopreservation has been extensively used in assisted reproductive
technology, agriculture and conservation programmes for endangered species. The …

The comet assay is widely used in human biomonitoring to measure DNA damage as a
marker of exposure to genotoxic agents or to investigate genoprotective effects. Studies …

In spite of the optimisation of cryopreservation protocols, post-thawing trauma to mammalian
gametes cannot be completely avoided. Based on recent literature, cellular cryodamage in …

The aim of the present study was to compare the efficiency of vitrification and slow freezing
techniques for the cryopreservation of zebrafish ovarian tissue containing immature follicles …

Amino acids have an important biological role for prevention of cell damage during
cryopreservation. The objective of this study is to determine the effects of cysteine on …

Cryopreservation may lead bovine oocytes to undergo morphological changes and
functional damage due to the high-lipid content in the cytoplasm and the formation of …

The widely adopted method of vitrification is known to induce some negative effects on
oocytes. In order to enhance the efficiency of this process performed on ovine oocytes at …

Magnetic cryopreservation has been successfully used for tooth banking with satisfactory
implantation outcomes, suggesting that the method preserves human periodontal ligament …

Autophagy is an essential cellular mechanism that degrades cytoplasmic proteins and
organelles to recycle their components; however, the contribution of autophagy during …

The aims of the present study were to;(1) determine the effects of supplementation with two
antioxidants during in vitro culture (IVC) on embryo development and quality; and (2) test the …
