The objective of cryopreservation is to minimize damage to biological materials, including tissues, mammalian cells, bacteria, fungi, plant cells, and viruses, during low temperature freezing and ...

Egg and embryo cryopreservation remains the preferred options for fertility preservation. A third option, ovarian tissue freezing for later replanting, is still considered experimental.

Another thesis titled Synergistic Ice Inhibition Effect Enhances Rapid Freezing Cryopreservation with Low Concentration of Cryoprotectants was published in Advanced Science on January 29th.

In 1972, scientists Peter Mazur, Stanley Leibo, and David Whittingham published evidence of the first-ever successful cryopreservation of mammalian embryos using slow-freezing.

Egg freezing is known as oocyte cryopreservation and it’s one form of assisted reproductive technology (ART). During the procedure, medications are used to stimulate eggs to grow.

Vitrification Methods: Controlled Rate versus Rapid Freezing The goal of the cryopreservation process is to avoid crystallization and dehydration of the cell. As the freeze point temperature is ...
