To overcome COVID-19 long-term consequences, one possible approach is to control inflammasomes activation, because SARS-CoV-2 can induce humoral and cellular immune responses. In this opinion article we hypothesized that if it is proven wit…

(1) Background: Ovarian tissue transplantation with adipose tissue-derived stem cells (ASCs) has been shown to enhance graft vascularization and increase follicle survival after a short interval of 7 days. The aim of the present study was t…

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. Ovarian cortex…

STUDY QUESTION: Is transplantation of cryopreserved ovarian tissue from patients with borderline ovarian tumors (BOTs) a safe procedure? SUMMARY ANSWER: BOT cells were found in frozen-thawed and xenografted ovarian tissue in 1 of 11 BOT pa…

PURPOSE: Baboons are commonly utilized as an animal model for studies of human reproduction. However, folliculogenesis in this species has not been fully documented. The aim of this study was to assess follicle morphometry and expression of…

PURPOSE: To review 15 years of activities in ovarian tissue cryobanking from medical database files, including patient indications, histological evaluation and clinical characteristics. METHODS: Retrospective longitudinal analysis of data …

PURPOSE: To assess the safety of reimplantation of cryopreserved ovarian tissue from advanced-stage breast cancer patients. METHODS: Cryopreserved ovarian cortical fragments were obtained from 13 advanced-stage breast cancer patients aged …
