Summary

Cryopreservation of ovarian tissue can be performed using one of two methods: conventional ("slow") freezing and cryopreservation by direct plunging into liquid nitrogen (so called vitrification or "rapid" freezing). Comparative investigations of vitrification and conventional freezing performed on mammalian ovarian tissue are limited, and the authors present different conclusions.
