Abstract
Cryopreservation of ovarian tissue is a potential alternative or addit ion to cryopreservation of embryos or oocytes for sustaining fertility in women at risk of premature ovarian failure. Grafts of cryopreserve d ovarian tissue have resulted in live-born mice and sheep. While huma n applications are in their infancy, frozen human ovarian tissue graft ed to the kidney capsules of immunodeficient mice has produced normall y developing ovarian follicles.
