  Effects of various clinical factors after embryo cryopreservation on pregnancy outcome
  Author(s): Aron Walker*
  
  Oocyte and embryo cryopreservation is a critical stage in the distribution and conservation of animal genetic resources. The ideal protocol has not yet been developed since oocytes and early embryos are extremely sensitive to freezing and cryopreservation, despite recent advancements. The magnitude of the harm, aswell as variations in survival and developing rates, can be very diverse depending on the species,developmental stage, and origin of the oocytes and embryos. All oocytes and embryos sustain significant morphological and functional damage duringcryopreservation (for example, in vitro produced or in vivo derived, micro manipulated or not). Currently, slow freezing and verification are the two processes used to preserve gametes and embryos. High concentrations of penetrating cryoprotectants are commonly present in solutions used for verification or fast cooling of embryos. Embry.. Read More»
