Developmental rates after vitrification were significantly better for embryos vitrified using the cryoloop compared to those vitrified using OPS. Hamster oocytes were also successfully vitrified ...

Vitrification is currently the preferred method of cryopreservation of oocytes. Although the number of births resulting from the use of cryopreserved eggs is relatively small and long-term follow ...

oocytes, only two papers presented data with closed-system vitrification, these data were seriously compromised compared with those presented in 23 publications referring to the use of open systems.

He said: "Freezing a woman's eggs (or oocytes) has become an important and integral part of fertility treatment, and the introduction of new freezing techniques such as oocyte vitrification has ...

The techniques in Panels A and B can also be combined, with ovarian-tissue cryopreservation followed by controlled ovarian stimulation and vitrification of oocytes. The combined technique ...

Egg vitrification is often used by large donor egg programs. The availability of frozen-thawed donor oocytes makes it possible to guarantee anonymous donation and continuous care without the need ...

“success rates with oocyte cryopreservation via either slow-freeze or vitrification appear to decline with maternal age consistent with the clinical experience with fresh oocytes.” Some ...

oocytes, and embryos, with more than 300 000 births happening from frozen embryos today. In the 1980s, scientists Gregory M. Fahy and William R. Fall introduced the process of vitrification to ...

Before freezing, a process called vitrification is used to replace bodily fluids with cryoprotectants to prevent ice crystal formation, which could damage cells. Though the idea sounds like ...
