Vitrification of human immature oocytes before and after in vitro maturation: a review [PDF]
, 2017 The use of immature oocytes subjected to in vitro maturation (IVM) opens interesting perspectives for fertility preservation where ovarian reserves are damaged by pathologies or therapies, as in PCO/PCOS and cancer patients. Human oocyte cryopreservation

Efficient vitrification of mouse embryos using the Kitasato Vitrification System as a novel vitrification device [PDF]
Reproductive Biology and Endocrinology, 2017 Currently, the cryopreservation of embryos and oocytes is essential for assisted reproductive technology (ART) laboratories worldwide. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of the Kitasato Vitrification System (KVS) as a vitrification device for the cryopreservation of mouse embryos to determine whether this novel device can be adapted to the field

Vitrification Solutions for Plant Cryopreservation: Modification and Properties
Plants, 2021 Many plants cannot vitrify themselves because they lack glassy state-inducing substances and/or have high water content. Therefore, cryoprotectants are used to induce vitrification.

Stepped vitrification technique for human ovarian tissue cryopreservation [PDF]
, 2019 The advantage of stepped vitrification (SV) is avoiding ice crystal nucleation, while decreasing the toxic effects of high cryoprotectant concentrations. We aimed to test this method for human ovarian tissue cryopreservation.
