Abstract The purpose of this study is to develop a novel method for the cryopreservation and efficient post-thaw recovery of individual or small numbers of human spermatozoa. Spermatozoa equilibrated in cryoprotectant bu
Objective: To develop an efficient cryopreservation method using a single sperm. Design: Experimental study. Setting: Laboratory of a private institute. Patient(s): A fertile donor. Intervention(s): We produced hollow-co
Abstract. Herein, we report the birth of two healthy babies to a woman following intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) using motile spermatozoa vitrified without permeable cryoprotectants. Spermatozoa (in a case of oli
Abstract Cryopreservation of human spermatozoa free from cryoprotectant can avoid toxicity caused by highly concentrated cryoprotectant and a series of specific carriers have been previously explored, except for PDMS chi
Cryotop is a carrier that has been used successfully in the cryopreservation of human spermatozoa. Here, we explored a novel method to vitrify human spermatozoa without cryoprotective agents (CPAs) using Cryotop. Spermat
Abstract Despite broad utilization of sperm cryopreservation, little progress has been made to modify freezing protocols or to improve rates of sperm survival. Vitrification is an alternative method for freezing human sp
background: Despite interest in cryopreservation of individual or small number of human spermatozoa, to date, little data is available as regards its effectiveness. We systematically reviewed the outcome after cryopreser
