Cryopreservation breakthrough could revolutionize fertility treatments, boost pregnancy rates.
The goal was to see how different freezing methods and chemicals affect the development of mouse embryos. They froze mouse embryos using four chemicals (PROH, EG, DMSO, G) with either a slow-freezing or a Vit-Master vitrification method. Results showed that using PROH with slow-freezing was best for embryo survival and growth. However, using EG with Vit-Master vitrification worked better than other chemicals for embryo viability and development. So, PROH is good for slow-freezing, while EG is better with Vit-Master vitrification, suggesting a new method to preserve mouse embryos effectively.
