Comprehensive characterisation and cryopreservation optimisation of buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells
Cryobiology. 2024 Apr 17:104896. doi: 10.1016/j.cryobiol.2024.104896. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTOver half of the world's buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) inhabit India, and buffaloes frequently encounter health challenges that resist conventional treatments, prompting the exploration of alternative therapeutic strategies. One promising approach is stem cell therapy, particularly multipotent mesenchymal/stromal stem cells (MSCs). These cells have shown significant efficacy in addressing various diseases in livestock that exhibit resistance to conventional therapies. Adipose tissue-derived MSCs (ADSCs) have garnered attention d...

Lipid mixtures (from a liposome kit) and melatonin improve post-thawed Angora goat sperm parameters
This study aimed to investigate lipid mixtures (from a liposome kit, Lps) and melatonin (Mel) at different doses to prevent the deterioration of sperm parameters and to provide the cryoprotective effects on sperm DNA. The Angora goat ejaculates were collected and pooled. They were divided into seven equal volumes, and each of them was diluted with the extenders of the experimental groups with additives (Lps 321.99 μg/mL, Lps 841.33 μg/mL, Mel 0.25 mM, Mel 1 mM, Lps 321.99 μg/mL + Mel 1 mM, Lps 841.33 μg/mL + Mel 0.25 mM) and no additives (control group). After the freeze-thawing process, motility, viability, acrosome i...

Effect of resuscitation of cryopreserved porcine adrenal glands at 26 °C on their recovery and functioning under xenotransplantation
Cryobiology. 2024 Apr 16;115:104895. doi: 10.1016/j.cryobiol.2024.104895. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe study is devoted to the effect of lowered resuscitation temperature (26 °C) on cryopreserved porcine adrenal glands functional activity in vitro and in vivo under xenotransplantation. The adrenals were collected from newborn pigs, cryopreserved with 5 % DMSO at a rate of 1 °C/min, resuscitated at 26 or 37 °C for 48 h (5 % CO2, DMEM), embedded into small intestinal submucosa, and transplanted to bilaterally adrenalectomized rats. It has been shown that the glands resuscitated at 26 °C have suppressed free-radical ...

In vivo study of porous NiTi cryotweezers for bone tissue cryotherapy
This study examined the effects of liquid nitrogen vapor on osteogenesis in the rabbit femur. Cryotweezers made of porous nickel titanium alloy (nitinol or NiTi) obtained by self-propagating high temperature synthesis were used in this experiment. The porous structure of the cryotweezers allows them to hold up to 10 g of liquid nitrogen after being immersed for 2 minutes, which completely evaporates after 160 seconds. To study the effects of liquid nitrogen evaporation on osteogenesis, a rabbit femur was perforated. The formed holes were subjected to cryotherapy with varying exposure times. It was found that a 3 second exp...

27 MHz constant field dielectric warming of kidneys cryopreserved by vitrification
Cryobiology. 2024 Apr 10:104893. doi: 10.1016/j.cryobiol.2024.104893. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTOrgans cryopreserved by vitrification are exposed to the lowest possible concentration of cryoprotectants for the least time necessary to successfully avoid ice formation. Faster cooling and warming rates enable lower concentrations and perfusion times, reducing toxicity. Since warming rates necessary to avoid ice formation during recovery from vitrification are typically faster than cooling rates necessary for vitrification, warming speed is a major determining factor for successful vitrification. Dielectric warming uses an...

The effects of repeated freezing and thawing on bovine sperm morphometry and function
Cryobiology. 2024 Apr 10;115:104892. doi: 10.1016/j.cryobiol.2024.104892. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTRefreezing the remaining genetic resources after in vitro fertilization (IVF) can conserve genetic materials. However, the precise damage inflicted by repeated freezing and thawing on bovine sperm and its underlying mechanism remain largely unexplored. Thus, this study investigates the impact of repeated freeze-thaw cycles on sperm. Our findings indicate that such cycles significantly reduce sperm viability and motility. Furthermore, the integrity of the sperm plasma membrane and acrosome is compromised during this proce...

On the universality of viscosity in supersaturated binary aqueous sugar solutions: Cryopreservation by vitrification
We present the construction of the Supplemented Phase Diagram and the non-equilibrium nature of the undersaturated-supersaturated kinetic transition. The description of its thermodynamic nature is achieved through the study of behavior of their viscosity as temperature is lowered and concentration increased. In this work, we find a universal character for the viscosities of several sugar water solutions.PMID:38555011 | DOI:10.1016/j.cryobiol.2024.104886 (Source: Cryobiology)

A review of recent developments in the application of nanostructures for sperm cryopreservation
Cryobiology. 2024 Apr 3;115:104890. doi: 10.1016/j.cryobiol.2024.104890. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIn the 1970s, sperm cryopreservation was presented as a unique route to fertility preservation. The ability to cryopreserve sperm from all species is challenging. The sperm cryopreservation process encompasses various cellular stresses such as increased osmotic pressure, ice crystal formation, and thermal shock, therefore decreasing the quality of sperm. The nanostructures due to their inherent features such as reactivity, high uptake, active surface area, and antioxidant activity, have contributed to modifying freezing p...
