Effect of cold storage and cryopreservation of immature non-human primate testicular tissue on spermatogonial stem cell potential in xenografts

Abstract

Our observations suggest that cryopreservation of immature primate testis is a feasible approach to maintain spermatogonial stem cells and may serve as a promising tool for fertility preservation of prepubertal boys. The possibility to delay the transplantation of cooled samples suggests an option for clinical centralization of testicular tissue cryopreservation.
