  1. 1. In vitro models aiming for fertility preservation

    Author : Halima Albalushi; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Fertility preservation is considered a great hope to people suffering from infertility as a consequence of developmental or genetic cause, a disease itself or its treatments sequelae. In vitro models are fundamental to enrich our knowledge about human germ cell development and its regulation, to generate and screen new therapeutic measures and might provide a tool that can be transferred to clinical use to treat infertility.

  2. 2. Novel in vitro methods aiming at improving fertility preservation

    Author : Xia Hao; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The well-established fertility preservative methods for female cancer patients include the cryopreservation of embryos, mature oocytes and ovarian tissue before the initiation of gonadotoxic cancer treatment. Due to a diversity of clinical and practical situations, there are limitations of these methods, creating the necessity to develop further solutions, and there is also a lack of knowledge on the effect of recent gonadotoxic cancer treatment in the ovarian potential.

  3. 3. Assisted reproductive technologies for fertility preservation and fertility treatment in young women with cancer

    Author : Anna Marklund; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Loss of fertility as a potential side effect of anti-neoplastic treatments may have a significant negative impact on the survivors’ quality of life.

  4. 4. Clinical grade vitrification of human ovarian tissue for fertility preservation

    Author : Mona Sheikhi; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Cryopreservation of human ovarian tissue is one approach to preserve fertility for women who can be predicted to undergo premature ovarian failure as a consequence of chemotherapy, radiotherapy or genetic disorders. It is the most suitable option for pre-pubertal girls and for many young women to store oocytes. READ MORE

  5. 5. Preservation of fertility through cryopreservation and in vitro maturation of human ovarian follicles and oocytes

    Author : Julius Hreinsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Oocyte; maturation in-vitro; cryopreservation; ovarian follicles; culture; IVM; preservation of fertility;

    Abstract : One of the most rapidly expanding fields in assisted reproduction is the preservation of fertility for young women at risk of premature ovarian failure. This may be caused by cytotoxic therapy or other reasons. Cryopreservation of follicles in ovarian tissue has been successful in animal models with live young being born. READ MORE
