Vitrification of mouse and human blastocysts using a novel cryoloop container-less technique.
Birth of piglets after transfer of embryos cryopreserved by cytoskeletal stabilization and vitrification.
Successful vitrification of pronuclearstage r abbit zygotes by minimum volume cooling procedure.
Factors affecting the survival of mouse embryos cryopreserved by vitrification.
Adding cryoprotectant inhibits ice formation and promotes vitrification, but more importantly alters the amount of expansion.
However, both vitrification methods resulted in blastocysts with a significantly higher apoptotic index than that found in fresh blastocysts (non-frozen controls).
In embryo cryopreservation, vitrification has advantages over slow freezing methods.
If vitrification occurs between fluid membranes (small solutes, a2), the presence of the glass will hinder the transition to the gel phase.
