Somatic cells cryopreservation

If cryopreservation is now a routine technology transferable for application, at least for sperm, quality tests for cell diffusion are still to be determined. Tests should be favored which aim to assess the genetic conformity of the offspring obtained. When considering alternative cell sources, cryopreservation of somatic cells, cultured cells, blastomeres, PGCs, or SSCs does not appear technically challenging. However, these cell types differ in their accessibility and in the complexity of the reconstruction technology they require (Table 3.2)...
