Refrigeration technology to maintain cold-stored mouse sperm viability for 10 days

(Kumamoto University) A Japanese research team has succeeded in developing a refrigeration preservation technology that maintains the fertilization functionality of mouse sperm for 10 days. Previously, the maximum freezing period was limited to three days, but by extending the preservation period by over three times that amount, it is now possible to send sperm of genetically modified mice to research organizations around the world.
