This review describes the use of modern reproductive biotechnologies or assisted
reproductive techniques (ART) including artificial insemination, embryo transfer/sexing, in …

Numerous factors affect vitrification success and post-thaw development of oocytes after in
vitro fertilization. Therefore, elaboration of an optimal methodology ensuring higher …

The ability to successfully cryopreserve mammalian oocytes has numerous practical,
economical and ethical benefits, which may positively impact animal breeding programs and …

Cryopreservation of normal, lipid-containing porcine oocytes has had limited practical
success. This study used solid surface vitrification (SSV) of immature germinal vesicle (GV) …

Objective To examine the maturational competence, embryo development and expression of
genes involved in oocyte maturation and cumulus expansion (GDF9, BMP15, HAS2 …

Purpose The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of cryotop vitrification of sheep
cumulus-oocyte complexes (COCs) on oocyte maturation, apoptotic gene expression and …

Contents This study was designed to evaluate effects of different combinations of
cryoprotectants on the ability of vitrified immature buffalo oocytes to undergo in vitro …

This study was designed to evaluate the efficiency of two oocyte vitrification–warming
procedures using two different devices: Superfine Open Pulled Straws (SOPS) and …

The cryopreservation of immature oocytes would generate a readily available, non-seasonal
source of female gametes for research and reproduction. In domestic animals, the most …

The objective of this study was to develop an effective ultra-rapid vitrification method and
evaluate its effect on maturation, developmental competence and development-related gene …
