Developmental rates after vitrification were significantly better for embryos vitrified using the cryoloop compared to those vitrified using OPS. Hamster oocytes were also successfully vitrified ...

Vitrification, an ultra-fast freezing process that has significantly improved rates of oocyte, embryo and other biological material survival through minimizing ice crystal formation. It is also ...

After fertilisation and during the next few cell divisions (cleavage), the maternal developmental control transits from the oocyte to the embryo when maternal RNAs and proteins are selectively ...
