The survival rate of vitrified germinal vesicle (GV) stage porcine oocytes is very low, and it is
not known if the vitrification damages the nucleus, cytoplasm or both. We have evaluated the …

An efficient cryopreservation protocol for porcine morulae was investigated with three types
of vitrification having different cooling rates (Exp. 1). Survival of embryos vitrified after …

In vitro maturation of oocytes is a technique that implies extended cultivation of immature
oocytes, recovered by aspiring the cumulus-oocytes complexes from follicles, their …

We investigated survival, meiotic competence, cytoplasmic maturation, in vitro fertilization,
and development of immature porcine (Sus scrofa) oocytes cryopreserved by a modified …

Contents Joining immature gamete cryopreservation and germinal vesicle transplantation
(GVT) technique could greatly improve assisted reproductive technologies in animal …

This study was designed to evaluate the capacity of vitrified–warmed porcine immature
oocytes to mature and to be fertilized using in vitro fertilization or intracytoplasmic sperm …

Various sample containers have been developed for ultra-rapid vitrification of oocytes and
embryos to minimize chilling and other injuries. In this study, the survival rates of in vitro …

The purpose of this study was to determine ultrastructural and cytoskeletal changes that
result from vitrification of porcine germinal vesicle‐(GV‐) and meiosis II‐(MII‐) stage oocytes …

To date only in vivo-produced embryos have successfully produced live piglets after
cryopreservation. In this study, we aimed to produce piglets from vitrified embryos derived …

Porcine embryo cryopreservation is an important technology for the storage and transport of
valuable genetic material. With many of the current vitrification and storage systems, such as …
