Cloned Camel Embryos Thrive After Vitrification, Boosting Pregnancy Rates
To see if vitrification could enhance the success of cloned camel embryos, researchers tested different freezing methods on the embryos. They found that using specific freezing kits made for human embryos led to better survival and growth of the embryos compared to a method made for camel embryos. The embryos that were vitrified had fewer problems than non-vitrified ones, indicating that vitrification helped weed out weaker embryos. Additionally, using the freezing kits resulted in more successful pregnancies than using fresh embryos, with the frozen embryos having a higher chance of surviving the critical early stages of pregnancy. These findings suggest that vitrification could be a valuable tool in improving the success rate of cloned camel embryos.
