Podcasts about Cryopreservation

If you've ever worked in a cell therapy lab or handled biologics, you've probably experienced the pitfalls of cryopreservation. We've all mourned the loss of precious samples after a freeze-thaw cycle gone wrong or watched viability figures plummet, wondering where it all went awry.In this episode of The Smart Biotech Scientist Podcast, Jeffrey Allen, Chairman and CEO of Evia Bio, shares how nature-inspired solutions are changing the cell preservation game. With a background spanning finance, operations, and leadership across the biotech landscape, Jeffrey brings a unique perspective on bridging science and practical manufacturing needs.Inspired by the survival strategies of Minnesota's frozen forests, a new wave of biotech innovation is transforming the way we freeze, store, and ship life-saving cells for therapies - and it all starts with a better understanding of nature.Here are the top three takeaways from this podcast episode:Cryopreservation shouldn't be an afterthought: Building optimal cryopreservation strategies into your process development from day one can avoid costly setbacks and delays.Beyond cell viability - function matters: It's not just about how many cells survive the freeze/thaw cycle, but whether those cells remain fully functional. Evia Bio's new DMSO-free formulations are delivering >85% recovery on MSCs without compromising cell function.One size doesn't fit all: Every cell type has unique needs for freezing, thawing, and formulation. Leveraging tailored algorithms and customized protocols can drastically improve yield and reproducibility, potentially reducing the need for costly overfilling in manufacturing.If you've ever lost precious cell samples to a freeze-thaw mishap or questioned why you're stuck with outdated, toxic cryopreservation methods, this episode is for you!Connect with Jeffrey Allen:LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/jeffreydallen2Website: www.eviabio.comEmail: jeffrey.allen@eviabio.comNext step:Book a free consultation to help you get started on any questions you may have about bioprocessing analytics: https://bruehlmann-consulting.com/callDevelop bioprocessing technologies better, faster, at a fraction of the cost with our 1:1 Strategy Call: The quickest and easiest way to excel biotech technology development.

In this episode, Charlie is joined by embryologist Jessica Manns, who practices out of Radiance Fertility Clinic, Western Pennsylvania's only private fertility practice.  She is also a massive advocate for wanting to help people further understand IVF and everything surrounding it. They discuss the complications that both men and women face when starting chemotherapy and the prospect of being left infertile post treatment.  The options they then have to hand should they want to explore starting a family post treatment.  Cryopreservation of sperm and eggs and what is involved.  As well as a detailed discussion about IVF including the process, side effects and over-riding costs.And whilst IVF can be one option to explore, there are also other alternatives including surrogacy.  Something that Jessica is now more than familiar with, as she is currently 36 weeks pregnant with another couples child.Chemotherapy can leave you infertile but that doesn't mean to say you can't start a family.  This episode is for anyone looking for that reassurance and for those who might be considering IVF. Website: www.talkingtocharlie.comInstagram: @talkingtocharlie DISCLAIMER: The views and opinions expressed in this series are those of the host and his guests, they do not necessarily reflect the views or positions of any entities they represent.  Nothing in this episode is intended to replace the services of a trained therapist, doctor or health professional, or otherwise to substitute for professional mental health, medical advice, diagnosis or treatment.

Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D. [@chutkaMD] Guest: Candace F. Granberg, M.D. Developments in cancer treatment have resulted in significant improvements in the survival of malignancy in young children. Unfortunately, these treatments often result in infertility. If these children are pre-pubertal, preservation of mature sperm is not possible. But there is now a procedure which may result in the preservation of fertility by removing testicular tissue, subjecting it to cryopreservation to preserve stem cells capable of producing viable sperm in the future. This procedure is known as testicular tissue cryopreservation and I'll be discussing it with our guest, Candace F. Granberg, M.D., a urologist at the Mayo Clinic.

Episode 151 - MARK HOUSE Cryopreservation and wealth was once the purview of science fiction and Hollywood. Freezing one's self to be revived in the future is not just something out of Issac Asimov book or a Ridley Scott movie. The science, estate planning, and economics of this "call option on immortality" are here right now. There are legitimate and current issues with cryopreservation and wealth- fascinating ones at that! Science, estate planning, ethics, governance, economics and good old-fashioned drafting are in focus as I speak with Scottsdale-based attorney MARK HOUSE. We're going to get our arms around the misconceptions of the freezing process and what that means legally and practically. With that background, we'll dive into the structuring and drafting considerations to effectuate this amazing concept. Finally, we have some fun by guessing at what the world may look like with revived citizens hundreds of years from now. INTRODUCTION BACKGROUND -How did Mark get into estate planning and how did he get into cryonics? CRYONICS -Let's define freezing "pre-death" vs "post-death." -Behind the Science: GREG FAHY'S WORK and BIO -What is the legal and funding process? ESTATE PLANNING AROUND CRYOPRESERVATION AND WEALTH -Usually when people die (and the being's existence terminates), the assets transfer to beneficiaries. However, here something different happens. -Is there a difference between being kept alive but in "suspended animation" and dying? -Does having various features including DNA maps serve as the basis for a new being? DIRECTED TRUSTS -Ownership in a trust should be able to provide the structure that allows the Grantor to be resuscitated when the science catches up. -Trusts have a Grantor, Trustee, Corpus (literally in this case) and beneficiaries. -Trustees must administer, invest and distribute.  -How does a directed trust allow the Grantor's intent to persist? TRUST REQUIREMENTS -Perpetuity and a Good Trust Protector Structure are vital. -With that in place, trustees must have distribution flexibility and discretion around "beneficiary determination" -Why is it important to have broad Trustee choice? -If we're making guesses about the future, why is nimble decision-making process around "science determinations" important? -When talking about investment flexibility, is endowing a future being a "prudent investment'? If so, how does a trustee sign off on that? CRYOPRESERVATION AND WEALTH ISSUES -Who pays the freezer? How much does this cost? -Once we know that, how does the trust pay for it? -When should a person use life insurance? When employed, does the presumption of death change anything? -What happens if you run out of funds? -Does it make sense to (also) endow the future persons' lifestyle? If not, how will they function in the future? -Should other the trust not include future beneficiaries to reduce a potential future conflict -How do you staff this? (See here for an interview with Betsy Brown on Corporate Trustees designed to deal with tricky situations: https://frazerrice.com/ep-63-betsy-brown/) -What if the individual or corporate trustees cease to exist? (Trust protector) -Is there liability for the science committee if they unfreeze too soon?  Can other beneficiaries then be added? Should they be? -Are private trust companies common in these situations? BEST PRACTICES AROUND CRYOPRESERVATION AND WEALTH -What's the best way to get started?

"People who say 'Why should you live longer? That's not normal.' Go back a little bit. It was normal to die at 20 or 30, or 40 at best. So why is today's lifespan exactly right? That's obviously nonsense." On this episode of HYPERSCALE, I am joined by Dr. Max More, one of the founders of the modern philosophy of transhumanism, co-founder of the Extropy Institute, an organization crucial in building the transhumanist movement since 1990, and Ambassador and President Emeritus of the Alcor Life Extension Foundation, one of the largest cryonics facilities in the world. Dr. Max is an internationally acclaimed strategic futurist who writes, speaks, and organizes events about the fundamental challenges of emerging technologies. Max is concerned that our rapidly developing technological capabilities are racing far ahead of our standard ways of thinking about future possibilities. His work aims to improve our ability to anticipate, adapt to, and shape the future for the better. Drawing on philosophy, economics, cognitive and social psychology, management theory, and other fields, he develops solutions and strategies for minimizing the dangers of progress and maximizing the benefits we stand to reap, especially when it comes to extending our lifespan beyond our current understanding, what he dubs the "status quo bias." Tune in as we pick the brain of one of the most renowned transhumanists of our time.

Autologous cell treatments are already making an impact in our lives today but the truth is we are only just scratching the surface of what might be possible. In our lifetime, aesthetic regenerative medicine will make a dramatic leap forward. The problem is that as our cells age they become less potent. That means many of us will never be able to experience the full impact of emerging regenerative innovation. On episode no. 85 of the Technology of Beauty we hear from the CEO of a startup that has not only set out to solve this problem, but already has a solution in the marketplace designed to prepare today's generation for the regenerative advances ahead. Meet Acorn Biolabs — The first non-invasive solution to preserve your younger follicle cells for use in regenerative medicine.From locking in cell age with cryogenic preservation to developing a process for autologous cell regeneration that could speculatively allow for 3D-printing a pancreas, Acorn CEO Drew Taylor describes it all so clearly that it feels less like science fiction, and more like inevitable future fact.But if it still seems too far off, or too good to be true, the first applications for these autologous cell-based therapies lie squarely in the realm of aesthetic medicine, where they are currently testing applications for their first cell-derived product composed of iPSCs — induced pluripotent stem cells.Find out what it all means and stick around for a demonstration of the harvesting procedure on Dr. Grant Stevens himself on the latest episode of The Technology of Beauty.» Apple Podcasts | https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/technology-of-beauty/id1510898426» Spotify | https://open.spotify.com/show/0hEIiwccpZUUHuMhlyCOAm» Recent episodes | https://www.influxmarketing.com/technology-of-beauty/» Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/thetechnologyofbeauty/» LinkedIn | https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-technology-of-beauty/The Technology of Beauty is produced by Influx Marketing, The Digital Agency for Aesthetic Practices. https://www.influxmarketing.com/Want more aesthetic insights?

The cost of rent in Canada is dwarfing minimum wage in every province. We discuss what needs to be done to address this widespread disparity with Ricardo Tranjan, Senior Researcher with ‘The Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives'.   Five years ago it sounded like science fiction, but now researchers from the University of Alberta are a step closer to making the cryopreservation of human tissue a reality. We learn about the unique work being done at the U of A from Jason Acker, Professor of Transfusion Medicine and Cryopreservation.   Satellites orbiting earth have to navigate a minefield of debris around our planet. So, what needs to be done to deal with space junk and who's responsible for ‘taking out the non-terrestrial trash'. We discuss with Hugh Lewis, Professor of Astronautics from the ‘University of Southampton'.

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2023.07.15.548973v1?rss=1 Authors: Upton, R., Calatayud, N. E., Clulow, S., Brett, D., Burton, A. L., Colyvas, K., Mahony, M., Clulow, J. Abstract: There are strong potential benefits of incorporating assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs) into conservation programs for the management of threatened amphibians as the global amphibian decline continues. As sperm cryopreservation and other ARTs advance in common species, focus on non-lethal sperm collection methods for threatened amphibians is imperative. We aimed to realise this goal by testing various doses of exogenous hormones for non-lethal induction of spermiation in a threatened frog (Litoria aurea) and develop cold storage and cryopreservation protocols following the recovery of urinic sperm. Our major findings include: (1) that sperm release could be induced in high concentrations with 20 IU/g bodyweight of human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG); (2) high levels ( greater than 50%) of live, motile sperm could be recovered post-cryopreservation by treating the sperm with 15% v/v DMSO and 1% w/v sucrose pre-freeze; and (3) urinic sperm stored at 5{degrees}C retained motility over a 14-day period. Our findings demonstrate that it is possible to obtain and store large quantities of quality sperm from a threatened amphibian via non-lethal means, representing an important step forward for the use of ARTs in conservation programs for rare and threatened species.

Are you ready to learn about all things life extension, cryopreservation and cryptography? Even though the connection isn't immediately obvious, there is a huge overlap between thinkers interested in cryptography, building for the future, and life extension, and today's episode with Dr. Emil Kenziorra and Kai Micah Mills from CryoDAO will get into some of the reasons behind this. CryoDAO's mission is to fund high-impact cryopreservation research to increase the quality and capabilities of cryopreservation. In this episode we'll dive into why both Emil and Kai left academia behind for cryonics research, CryoDAO's mission and the overlap between crypto and cryonics, why science should be decentralized, as well as some common misconceptions about cryopreservation. We hope you enjoy this week's episode.

A very tired and delusional episode. Alex records after sitting at a Starbucks for the first time. Going off on rant, Alex talks about the things that have been spiraling in his mind. Particularly, different topics of science. Cryopreservation, AI, and Human potential are some of the things he touches on. To end the episode, Alex has three talking points. First, feeling vulnerable at Starbucks. Alex is sitting with his laptop out, writing into his journal. Second, because of this feeling of vulnerability, Alex is very aware of everyone coming and going. Of course, Alex notices the attractive women, but one girl stood out for an odd reason. Third, Alex remembers why he is fascinated about love. Listening to a podcast host is what got him interested in the idea of love. He also goes on to give his thoughts on love and what he hopes for the future. An interesting episode that gets your mind thinking. Hopefully you enjoy. New episode out every Thursday.

As an entrepreneur and regenerative medicine pioneer, Drew Taylor is making breakthrough medicine accessible for everyday people. Drew's interest in regenerative medicine goes all the way back to seventh grade when he observed a total knee replacement. After the surgery, the doctor told him that, someday, people would use their own cells to heal their bodies. Ever since Drew's fascination with regenerative medicine has only grown. Drew is used to juggling a full life; while obtaining his Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering at the University of Toronto, Drew also competed as a pitcher in professional baseball. After a career-ending injury forced him to give up his sports career, Drew devoted himself fully to medicine, first working as part of Mount Sinai Hospital's BioEngineering of Skeletal Tissues Team, then as Chief Science Officer at Epic Capital Management. Drew wanted to help people find a way to use their own tissue to live not only longer but better. So in 2017, Drew co-founded Acorn Biolabs, a company dedicated to helping more people access the future of regenerative medicine by providing affordable, accessible, and non-invasive cell banking. Cryopreservation isn't just science fiction anymore; with Acorn, Drew helps people prepare to live longer, look better, and get ahead of aging so they are ready for the future of regenerative medicine.

A few decades ago, the idea of using cryopreserved genetic material to bring  back extinct or endangered species laid only in the realm of science fiction.  Although we  are not quite at that point today, science has still brought us much closer. In tonight's episode I am joined by Dr. Michael Mahony of  Australia's University of Newcastle. We discuss his research into cryopreservation as a means to protect fragile amphibian populations and the possibility of resurrecting extinct species of frog. We also discuss some of the unique challenges that Australian Amphibians face and what it was like discovering new species.  In fact, Michael has described 15 new species of frog, and he has the distinction of having a newly discovered named after him in his honor. For more information visithttps://www.newcastle.edu.au/profile/michael-mahony

Cryopreservation of advanced therapy medicinal products: an interview with Brian Hawkins by Future Science Group

How does egg freezing reshape our conception of time, aging and fertility? In her new monograph, Freezing Fertility: Oocyte Cryopreservation and the Gender Politics of Aging (NYU Press, 2020) Dr. Lucy van de Wiel explores the significance of egg freezing in re-orienting the temporality of the gender politics of aging. Dr. van de Wiel argues that it is critical to examine the politicized dimensions of egg freezing because it transforms the broader discourses around aging and normative timeline of women's reproduction even though the technology is only accessible for an elite few.  Through a cultural analysis of popular media and documentaries to highlight the role of rhetoric in creating conditions that motivate women in making decisions about their reproductive futures, Dr. van de Wiel criticizes the moralistic boundaries between social and medical utilized by some state actors to condemn women who decide to freeze their eggs for their careers. Dr. van de Wiel also highlights the role of financialized capitalism in refiguring fertility under the investment logic of optimization to speculate on the potential risks posed by anticipated infertility. Egg freezing technology shows us how the biopolitical control of population shifted to managing fertility, which transcends national borders as frozen eggs circulate transnationally for assisted reproduction as well as stem cell research. An incredibly rich and nuanced book, Freezing Fertility would be an invaluable read for anyone who is interested in the politics of reproduction, ART, gendered politics of aging, mortality, life, and regeneration.   Dr. Lucy van de Wiel is a Research Associate at the Reproductive Sociology Research Group (ReproSoc), University of Cambridge. Her research focuses on the social and cultural analysis of assisted reproductive technologies like egg freezing, time-lapse embryo selection and cross-border reproductive care. Da In Ann Choi is a PhD student at UCLA in the Gender Studies department. Her research interests include care labor and migration, reproductive justice, social movement, citizenship theory, and critical empire studies. She can be reached at dainachoi@g.ucla.edu.

How does egg freezing reshape our conception of time, aging and fertility? In her new monograph, Freezing Fertility: Oocyte Cryopreservation and the Gender Politics of Aging (NYU Press, 2020) Dr. Lucy van de Wiel explores the significance of egg freezing in re-orienting the temporality of the gender politics of aging. Dr. van de Wiel argues that it is critical to examine the politicized dimensions of egg freezing because it transforms the broader discourses around aging and normative timeline of women's reproduction even though the technology is only accessible for an elite few.  Through a cultural analysis of popular media and documentaries to highlight the role of rhetoric in creating conditions that motivate women in making decisions about their reproductive futures, Dr. van de Wiel criticizes the moralistic boundaries between social and medical utilized by some state actors to condemn women who decide to freeze their eggs for their careers.

"It does seem to hold true that ICSI is beneficial when you fertilize eggs that have been previously cryopreserved because there are some changes that occur in the zona pellucida and the structure of the egg itself." - Denis Vaughan, M.D. Intracytoplasmic sperm injection or ICSI is a micromanipulation procedure in which a single sperm is injected directly into an egg to attempt fertilization, used with male infertility or couples with prior IVF failure. There is a new updated document from ASRM on ICSI for non-male factor and we talk about it today on the podcast. View the document: Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) for non–male factor indications: a committee opinion All ASRM Practice Committee documents can be viewed at ASRM.org If you'd like to know more about the types of practice documents and the methodology of their creation, visit this page on ASRM.org

"So the stakes are very high when you store cryopreserved embryos, eggs, sperm, testicular tissue, ovarian tissue, but even higher stakes when you cryopreserve and store tissue from cancer patients." --Sangita Jindal, Ph.D. In 2018, there were a number of notable failures of cryostorage which caused concern for patients and program safety for IVF in the United States. ASRM Today invited Dr. Sangita Jindal to speak about the ASRM Practice Committee Opinion titled, "Cryostorage of reproductive tissues in the IVF laboratory". Dr. Sangita Jindal is an Associate Professor in the Department of Ob/Gyn and Women’s Health, and Laboratory Director of Montefiore’s Institute for Reproductive Medicine and Health. Dr. Jindal received her Ph.D in reproductive physiology at the University of Toronto. In addition to her clinical expertise in all aspects of in vitro fertilization, andrology and infertility-related chemistry, Dr. Jindal supervises translational research on alterations in gene expression associated with ovarian aging in women. This Practice Committee Opinion will be available on August 5, 2020.

Have you ever thought about freezing your eggs? If you're a woman in your thirties, heck, if you're a woman in your twenties, chances are egg freezing has come across your radar at least once. So much around it can feel overwhelming, scary and unknown. How does egg freezing actually work?? How much does it cost? Does it hurt? How old should you be when you freeze your eggs? What are the success rates? How does it affect future fertility?   In this episode - the very first episode of In Her Prime, Talia sits down with Dr. Dan Nayot to learn all about social egg freezing. From the testing that's done, to the hormones you take, to the egg freezing process itself, a lot is explained. For reference, Dr. Nayot practices out of Toronto, Canada so the information provided on things like cost and insurance is based on Canadian stats. That being said, this episode is still immensely relevant to anyone, anywhere who wants to learn more about egg freezing as the process itself remains largely the same wherever egg freezing is done.     The purpose of this episode is to help provide you with more in-depth information on social egg freezing from a medical expert, not to make recommendations on what you should or should not do. Of course, that decision belongs to you. Listen and enjoy, and if you have any questions, comments, or personal experiences you'd like to share, you can do so in our free, private Facebook community, PrimeMates. Sign up here to join the conversation.   Dr. Dan Nayot, MD, M.Sc., FRCSC, REI Reproductive Endocrinology & Infertility Specialist (REI) Dr. Dan Nayot trained at internationally recognized institutions, obtaining his medical degree from the University of Western Ontario, and completing his Obstetrics and Gynecology Residency at the University of Toronto. Shortly thereafter, Dr. Nayot completed a Royal College fellowship in Gynecologic Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility at McGill University, Canada's largest University-based reproductive centre. Continuing his academic pursuits at Harvard University, Dr. Nayot received his Masters of Science degree in Clinical Epidemiology. He has been awarded several research grants and academic scholarships, authored numerous scientific papers, and presented at international medical conferences. Dr. Nayot is an active reviewer for several esteemed fertility scientific journals and continues to be involved in clinical research. He is an Assistant Professor at the University of Toronto in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, and trains students at various stages of their medical programs. Dr. Nayot is committed to providing his patients with individualized evidence-based care. He is a strong believer in empowering patients to make educated decisions, whether by appraising the latest research studies or facilitating a holistic team approach to infertility

It’s time to talk about embryo donation - one of the many paths to modern family building. Eloise will cover the basics of how it works and where the embryos come from, and even address the tough legal and ethical considerations behind the practice, and the reasons why someone may choose to donate their surplus embryos as opposed to choosing another disposition for them. We’ll also look at the recipient side of things - how do you find and qualify to receive donor embryos? Where do you even start looking, and what kind of cost can you expect?

Oocyte cryopreservation, or egg freezing, is a viable option for people with ovaries who want to extend their fertility or begin IVF. While it’s becoming more commonplace, the experience is not as simple as it’s sometimes made out to be: hormonal self-injections, frequent appointments, and going under anesthesia are all part of the process. So what’s really involved, and what can you do to make the procedure as smooth as possible? Sophie shares her tips on today’s episode.

SHOW NOTES:  INTRODUCTION: Dr. Damario is the medical director of the Center for Reproductive Medicine in St. Paul, MN; and is a practicing reproductive medicine specialist who earned his medical degree at the Medical College of Virginia, and completed his OB/GYN residency there as well. He then went on to complete fellowships in reproductive surgery at Emory University and reproductive endocrinology at Cornell. We were delighted to have him join us on May 24, 2019, to provide his insights and updates on assisted reproductive technology. CHAPTER 1: ART (assisted reproductive technology) was initially done in rabbit models, and then the first successful IVF birth in humans in 1978. Use of oocyte donation in 1983, a surrogate mother in 1986. Pre-implantation genetic dx in an embryo in 1989, and a single sperm injected in an egg in 1992. These were major breakthroughs. Where is ART these days? There are over 500 clinics in the U.S. that contribute for the most part to the national database on stats for ART. Ultimately, there are over 65,000 live births, and the percentage is now about 1.9% of total babies born now in the U.S.   Forbes.com in 2012, estimated 900,000 approximately conceived persons in the U.S. derived from IVF. That's about 305 people at Times Square bumping into each other on any given day. In 2017, the trend of multiple pregnancies in IVF and ART has come down. This issue has been contentious in the field of ART. Triplets in particular happen less often. Less than 1% from 7% in the mid-1990s. Twins have decreased in rate as well. Oocyte cryopreservation has continued to increase, as it is much more efficient now for donor and fertility preservation. More elective single embryo transfers as well. Indications for IVF include: Tubal factors such as occluded or absent tubes are indications, Male factors, such as severe oligospermia is also an indication for IVF. Advanced endometriosis and failed induction of ovulation, diminished ovarian reserve, unexplained infertility and a variety of specific conditions, such as the need for pre-implantation genetic diagnosis are also indications. Dr. Damario's program treats women age less than 45 with their own eggs and less than 50 with donor eggs. Smoking is a contraindication. BMI is also an issue for patients. Assessment of the woman will include antimullerian hormone (which has key roles in folliculogenesis), basal antra follicle count by U/S (an ovarian follicle in the latter stage of formation) and less often day 3 FSH and estradiol. Sonohysterography or saline hysterography, semenalysis, and sperm penetration testing, cervical canal evaluation, testing for Hep B and C, HIV and Syphilis are also performed ahead of time. How does the treatment phase of IVF work? Pituitary inhibition needs to happen in order to suppress the LH surge before oocyte retrieval. OCPs are given ahead of time to suppress other ovarian cysts, and to help start some of the later fertility medications. Pituitary suppression with Lupron or antagonists, such as Ganorelix. The gonadotropins are given after withdrawal bleeding from discontinuation of the pill and for about 8 to 12 days. Ultrasounds for follicles and estradiol accounts are performed. HCG is then given if all looks well with the above steps. It is similar to LH and then oocyte retrieval is scheduled 36 hours later. This is a precise action so as to not have egg immaturity or have ovulation occur. Embryo transfer then happens on the 5th day, most commonly. Usually then a pregnancy test happens on the 9th day. egg retrieval occurs transvaginally with ultrasound guidance. This is a day surgery procedure, and is generally tolerated well. Dr. Damario shows a short video of the procedure at this time. The embryologist takes the follicular fluid to ID eggs. They are graded for maturity, and they simultaneously prepare sperm. Eggs are incubated, then are exposed to sperm. They are observed the following day, embryos cleave and then on days 3 to 5, the embryo is transferred. A mature egg is actually the largest cell in the human body, and is surrounded by a clump of cells called a corona. Micro-droplet of sperm onto the egg and intracytoplasmic injection of a single sperm injected into the egg can also be done, especially if sperm quality is lower. The embryo is then cultured and grown, with cell division occurring daily and exponentially. A morula, which is many cells, is followed by a blastocyst forming, which is an expansion with an inner cell mass and fluid space. At this stage, the embryo is felt to be doing well. If they're not doing well, the embryo won't be chosen for transfer. Egg fertilization occurs at a rate of about 75%. The embryo is transferred into the uterus with transabdominal U/S guidance as it is placed into the uterus. Little to no anesthesia is required for this. CHAPTER 2: Outcomes are impacted by age to a fair degree, obviously higher (success) in younger women. The older the patient the less likely it will take effect. Cryogenically preserved embryos are doing well in transfer, in fact slightly better in some cases than traditional transfer. Risks of IVF include: multiple pregnancies, ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome, bleeding and infection, which are rare. Adverse pregnancies such as ectopic and miscarriage can occur. There is a possibility of subtle increase in congenital anomalies. Third party reproduction options include: oocyte donation from someone, sperm donation, embryos donated and gestational surrogate. This involves gestational carrier of the couple's own embryo. Oocyte donation is performed win carious ovarian failure conditions in general. Anonymous donors are screened very well, and hopefully in a hormonally synchronized recipient. They will be maintained on hormones through the first trimester in most cases. Oocyte donation has a very good success; especially with the improvement of cryopreservation. In older women, for instance up to age 45, there is good success with this procedure. Beyond 45 yo, there is lack of sufficient data to support doing this. Gestational carrier is indicated when there is no uterus, uterine complications, substantial risk to patient due to other conditions, same sex male couples for instance. Fertility preservation is performed in instances of cancer treatment. These include oocyte, sperm and embryo cryopreservation. These are experimental, but are coming down the pipeline in the future. Fertility preservation is not a guarantee that it will work but the odds do go up proportionate to the number of eggs frozen; although this does decline the older you are. Preimplantation genetic screening: random chromosome abnormalities, or embryonic aneuploidy is screened for more often now. Age of the woman is an impact, although problems can be derived from sperm too, but there is no age impact in men. Embryos can be screened for such things as SC disease and CF. Now embryos are biopsied at day 5, and the trophectoderm (outer layer) is sampled for this. The embryo is the frozen after biopsy. These samples are sent to national labs for this. Usually, affected embryos will not be transferred. Next generation sequencing testing modalities are used commonly now. A significant proportion of anuploid embryos are found now, actually. It appears, for instance, that women who are of older gestational age, are to benefits most from genetic testing. Gestational carrier cases are also good reason for genetic testing, since the surrogate will be taking on a significant risk in carrying the child. CHAPTER 3: Evolving ART.  Major advances have been made in many areas. Cryopreservation, genetic testing and counseling, etc. We're not quite there yet with oocyte in-vitro maturation. Essentially embryonic stem cell therapy is still being done, but more adult stem cells are being used. Mitochondrial transfer therapy for mitochondrial diseases are being done in the U.K.  Germ line gene editing, for instance, to have HIV protection, has come up at a recent conference. This is in the very early stages of development though. Question from the audience: Pre-implantation genetic diagnosis - how many things can be screened for? PGS is still for a limited list of conditions, mostly the disease conditions are monogenic. Sex chromosome reports are also obtained. But, this is not done only for sex selection, especially in fertile couples. When appropriate, this can be chosen, however.  There is a slight chance of error, but certainty is very high. Other questions included freezing of eggs. Not only in dire circumstances such as cancer, but also for women who may want to wait to have children for any variety of reasons. Vitrification is the method used for this now which is essentially "flash freezing" and has been perfected over the past 7-8 years. Also, Dr. Damario mentions that studies show that visualized hydrosalpinx on U/S is associated with poorer IVF outcomes. Salpingectomy can improve chances with this. Cost is also addressed, and of course when insurance doesn't cover the cost of ART, there is a significant expense to the patient. Screening tests are commonly covered by insurance. Finally, Dr. Damario comments on a question regarding egg transfer. Transferring eggs to someone else is not a simple task and is governed by the FDA, much like transplant surgery.

On this week's episode we speak with Valerie Landis.  Valerie is the host of the Eggology Club Podcast, writer of the Blog Eggsperience and nominee for a WEGO Health Award.  Valerie discusses her decision to undergo cryopreservation of own eggs, and why she believes it is a good option for many women.  

Product Group Director Joe LaPorte offers insight into the differences between mechanically refrigerated air-phase cryogenic freezers and conventional LN2 liquid and vapor storage freezers. Joe discusses how air-phase temperatures are achieved, and how cost reductions rebalance the investment in long-term preservation of critical materials at temperatures safely below the -129°C recrystallization temperature of water.

This episode is a little special. It is kind of bonus material for the Øredev conference of 2015. In it, you will hear Tim Urban and Torill Kornfeldt discuss artificial intelligence, life extension and the differing mindsets of technology and biology. Tim Urban is the writer of Wait but why, a fantastic website of deep dives into topics like artificial intelligence, Tesla and SpaceX but also softer topics like procrastination and the fear of what other people think. Torill Kornfeldt is a biologist and science journalist who is currently working on a book about de-extinction - the bringing back of extinct species. We call this bonus material because you probably want some background in order to enjoy their conversation to its fullest. We highly recommend watching both their Øredev keynotes, and Tim’s ideas are of course well covered on Wait but why as well. The conversation was recorded on stage at the conference and is also available in video form. Unfortunately there is some buzzing in the audio which I’ve done my best to filter out in this version. That’s why it sounds pretty processed. Special thanks to Stephen Chin of nighthacking.com for providing all the tech and expertise which made this recording possible! We are so happy this conversation came together and how it turned out, pure audio quality aside, and we hope you will enjoy it too!

This week, we're chilling out in the world of cryogenics, the science of the super-cold. We'll find out what happens to living tissue when it freezes, and how we can use low temperatures to keep organs, and maybe even one day whole bodies, in suspended animation. We also talk to the company behind an attractive new design of super-efficient fridge that runs on magnetism. In the news we hear how computer gamers have contributed to a breakthrough in HIV, why humans are programmed for overconfidence, and how the nervous system controls the immune system. Plus, we ask, is modern medicine altering... Like this podcast? Please help us by supporting the Naked Scientists

Background: Tick cell lines are now available from fifteen ixodid and argasid species of medical and veterinary importance. However, some tick cell lines can be difficult to cryopreserve, and improved protocols for short- and long-term low temperature storage will greatly enhance their use as tools in tick and tick-borne pathogen research. In the present study, different protocols were evaluated for cold storage and cryopreservation of tick cell lines derived from Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) decoloratus, Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus, Ixodes ricinus and Ixodes scapularis. For short-term cold storage, cells were kept under refrigeration at 6 C for 15, 30 and 45 days. For cryopreservation in liquid nitrogen, use of a sucrose-phosphate-glutamate freezing buffer (SPG) as cryoprotectant was compared with dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) supplemented with sucrose. Cell viability was determined by the trypan blue exclusion test and cell morphology was evaluated in Giemsa-stained cytocentrifuge smears. Results: Cold storage at 6 degrees C for up to 30 days was successful in preserving R. (B.) microplus, R. (B.) decoloratus, I. ricinus and I. scapularis cell lines; lines from the latter three species could be easily re-cultivated after 45 days under refrigeration. While cell lines from all four tick species cryopreserved with 6% DMSO were successfully resuscitated, the R. (B.) decoloratus cells did not survive freezing in SPG and of the other three species, only the R. (B.) microplus cells resumed growth during the observation period. Conclusions: This constitutes the first report on successful short-term refrigeration of cells derived from R. (B.) decoloratus, R. (B.) microplus, and I. ricinus, and use of SPG as an alternative to DMSO for cryopreservation, thus making an important contribution to more reliable and convenient tick cell culture maintenance.

The aim of this work was the evaluation of literature about physiology of reproduction, assisted reproduction technologies and associated biotechniques in domestic dogs (Canis familiaris). In the bitch preovulatory follicular luteinization results in exposure of oocytes to increasing concentrations of progesterone 1-2 days prior to ovulation. Ovulation occurs approximately two days after the LH-peak. The bitch ovulates primary oocytes with intact germinal vesicle, which requires 2-5 days for the completion of the meiotic divisions within the oviduct. Artificial insemination (AI) in bitch can be performed either intravaginally or intrauterinely with fresh, chilled or frozen-thawed spermatozoa. Intrauterine insemination (IUI) may be carried out surgically by laparotomy or laparoscopy or non-surgically using transcervical cathetherization. In the bitch, IUI results in a high whelping rate and litter size comparable to those after natural mating. Cryopreservation of dog semen has been successfully accomplished and a variety of extenders, freezing and thawing protocols have been published. AI with cryopreserved semen generally yields lower pregnancy rates if intravaginal deposition of semen is used. A reliable method for synchronization and induction of a fertile oestrus cycle as well as superovulation by hormone treatment are not available. Canine oocytes may resume meiosis spontaneously in vitro, although at a much lower efficiency than in most other domestic species. In vitro maturation (IVM) of oocytes results in 20 to 70 % oocytes entering germinal vesicle breakdown (GVBD). Only 10 to 40 % oocytes progress to metaphase I to II. It has been shown, that cumulus morphology, stage of estrous cycle, oocyte size, cumulus-oocyte communication through gap junctions, age of oocyte donors, and serum supplementation of the culture medium influence the efficiency of IVM. Dog oocytes cultured within advanced preantral and early antral follicles in vitro are competent to resume meiosis and mature to the metaphase stage. The developmental potential of these oocytes was comparable to isolated cumulus oocyte complexes. The optimal culture conditions required for induction of capacitation and acrosomal exocytosis of canine sperm are yet to be established. Dog spermatozoa are able to penetrate the zona pellucida and the vitellus of homologous oocytes irrespective of the oocyte maturation stage. The developmental potential of fertilized dog oocytes in vitro is very low. Only one case of development to the blastocyst stage after in vitro fertilization (IVF) has been reported. The surgical transfer of ex vivo collected dog embryos resulted in birth of live puppys although the success rates were low. Up to date no reports of production of live pups after IVF from in vivo or in vitro matured dog oocytes exists. In one study three conceptuses were identified by ultrasonography twenty days after transfer of in vitro fertilised oocytes but no further development could be observed. Reliable protocols for cryopreservation of dog embryos have yet to be developed. Until recently, there has been limited interest in assisted reproduction techniques in the dogs. The rising significance of dogs as companion animals as well as interest in comparative aspects with wild-life canides will stimulate research in the fields of in vitro production of embryos, cryopreservation and embryo transfer of embryos.
