Cryopreservation

protocol for stimulation of POR patients that needed embryo cryopreservation either as a result of bad health conditions that would affect the embryo-implantation, or based on patient’s request for other reasons. However, high numbers of punctured mature follicles, oocytes and available quality embryos was observed in ccL5d protocol compared to NC or non CC minimal stimulation protocols (Table 5 & 6). This gave ccL5d excess embryos for cryopreservation better than non CC protocols, in addition…

The cells were isolated using gradient centrifugation, cryopreservation, and resuscitation. Once activated via in vitro stimulation, the PBMCs were harvested and immunostained with the respective fluorochromeconjugated antibodies for flow cytometry analysis. In separate procedure, whole blood was collected from test…

Ethics: The advancements in assisted reproductive techniques (ARTs), such as in-vitro fertilization, has increased marital satisfaction and allowed for most infertile couples to achieve their dream of parenthood (4). However, it becomes seeming that IVF is seen as a controversial topic and possess its strengths and weaknesses. To begin with, the three Abrahamic religions have discussed the ethical viewpoint regarding in-vitro fertilization. The practice of IVF differs according to the church or…

Genetic testing is also known as DNA testing. It utilizes laboratory methods to study genes and chromosomes, in order to detect the presence of genetic diseases or the mutant forms of genes associated with high probabilities of developing genetic disorders, to design appropriate treatment. There are different types of genetic tests: Diagnostic testing, carrier testing, prenatal testing, pharmacogenomics testing, Research genetic testing and pre-implantation genetic diagnosis (PGD). Families who…

The newest development, Supramentis is a process that enables scientist to transfer informational contents from a human brain that has been preserved through cryopreservation, onto computers. Once the information of the former, self-functioning, natural human brain is uploaded onto the computer it is able to mimic thoughts, preferences, and behavioral patterns that the humans that had those brains once had. This simulated consciousness is called the “Nu-Me” and it has abilities to avoid the…

Are Animals the Future of Human Organ Transplants? Can animals be the future of organ transplants? Thought the research concluded many pros and cons of this. Pros : Decreasing the number of people needing transplants, using the ability of the monkey to see how the organ may react in us. Cons : Harming the animals, Animals becoming too much alike to humans, receiving diseases the animals may carry. Although humans need organs are the animals the way to go? If animals can actually be used for the…

Cardiac Differentiation Using BMP4 and CHIR99021 Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death worldwide with approximately 600,000 deaths in the U.S. only. One of the major difficulties with heart diseases is the heart’s failure to produce new and healthy cells in a timely manner. Unfortunately, the heart lacks the ability to quickly generate new tissue composed of viable cells, leading to patient death. Cardiovascular progenitor cells (CVPCs) are believed to be highly useful in…

that got our ancestors through yesterday, and hence our existence. I learned that it truly is ‘survival of the sickest’; and how today’s ‘healthy’ might not have made it back then during times of crisis. A possible future research potential is cryopreservation. The wood frogs mentioned in the book describes how they have a mind-blowing ability to completely freeze themselves, and then thaw out back to life when the temperature was warm again. Further research could soon allow us to not only…

Since most of the human body is made of water and by lowering the body below the freezing point of water will result in massive ice formation. Cryonic facilities can’t simply put patients into a vat of liquid nitrogen because their cells would freeze and simply shatter. Because of this reason, patients are protected from ice damage by using a mixture or agent (sort of a human antifreeze) to reduce, or even eliminate, ice formation. Conventional bypass technologies are used to circulate the…
