Cryopreservation ofhuman oocytes to delay fertility also be an option for women who are going to be subjected to a cancer/autoimmune treatment. It allows for creating a bank of oocytes for donation in assisted reproduction centers. The legislation allows the use of cryopreserved oocytes throughout the reproductive life of women with what conservation could last up to 48-50 years. Oocyte vitrification is a ultrafast freezing method in which cryoprotectants are used to prevent the formation of ice crystals within the cell. Treatment for oocyte vitrification process is similar to IVF treatment, ending at the time of obtaining the ova. The eggs obtained in the laboratory are classified according to maturity and quality. The apartments will be cryopreserved by vitrification technique tanks and maintained in liquid nitrogen until used for reproductive purposes.

Background: Transgender men face reproductive challenges due to the potential impact on fertility of gender-affirming hormone therapy (GAHT) and surgical interventions. Testosterone therapy during "female to male" transition leads to anovulation and amenorrhea. Although these effects are typically reversible upon stopping treatment, the long-term effects of androgens on future fertility and health of potential children remain poorly known.

Successful cryopreservation of articular cartilage (AC) depends on a number of variables, including heat transfer, sample packaging for cryogenic storage, cryoprotectant agent (CPA) concentration (toxicity), and CPA permeation into AC. In the first experiment of the present study, we used a combination of our established vitrification protocol (430-min multi-step loading Protocol 8) and the metal Ovarian Tissue Cryosystem (OTC) as a closed vitrification-storage-rewarming container to vitrify 7-mm diameter porcine osteochondral dowels with 2 methods of storage (storage in the OTC with or without a surrounding vitrification solution). In the second experiment, in an attempt to introduce a more reproducible and safe vitrification protocol, we employed our successful Protocol 8 with the OTC as the CPA loading container and a cryobag as the storage container (with or without surrounding vitrification solution).

Objective: To compare embryologic and clinical outcomes following oocyte cryopreservation (OC) and immediate fertilization for embryo cryopreservation (EC) in non-infertile patients.
Design: Retrospective cohort study SUBJECTS: Patients treated at a single fertility center from 2016 to 2023.
Exposure: OC MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Blastocyst development was compared between women undergoing OC and non-infertile women undergoing immediate fertilization for EC between 18 and 42 years of age.

An important method for preserving equine germplasm is the cryopreservation of equine oocytes. Due to its ease, rapidity and affordability, vitrification freezing has taken over as the primary method of horse oocyte cryopreservation. The vitrification cryoprotectants utilized in this investigation were Ethylene glycol (E), Dimethyl sulfoxide (D), Sucrose (S), and Ficoll (F).

This is a commentary to a paper recently published in RBMOnline by Macklon and De Vos, in which they argue for a discontinuation of ovarian tissue freezing for fertility preservation in women with breast cancer. Instead, they suggest the use of oocyte vitrification following ovarian stimulation as the preferred method of fertility preservation. This commentary presents nine separate arguments that should be considered in the context of ovarian tissue freezing and fertility preservation in girls and women.
