Embodiment 1
[0150] sperm collection
[0151] Sperm samples were collected from n=3 rams of the Sarda breed and pooled for analysis as a single sample. Concentration and motility were assessed using CASA (Ivos, Hamilton Thorne, Biosciences). Only sperm exhibiting motility of 85% or higher were considered for this experiment. Sperm samples were diluted to a concentration of 50 million in Tris medium supplemented with LyoA solution containing 0.25M trehalose and 0.4M sorbitol or Lyo B solution containing 0.16M trehalose and 0.26M sorbitol and 20% egg yolk sperm / ml. Sperm were then cooled at 1°C / min to 4°C before motility was reassessed using CASA.
[0152] freezing
[0153] In this experiment, freezing was accomplished by pipetting 10 [mu]l of sperm droplets onto coverslips pre-cooled to various temperatures (-10, -25 or -35[deg.] C.) for 1 hour. The coverslip was then removed and warmed by placing it on a warm plate (38°C).
[0154] Freeze drying

Embodiment 2
[0193] Name: Freeze-dried human spermatozoa show high DNA integrity after UV irradiation compared with frozen spermatozoa.
[0194] Research question: DNA integrity of a) frozen human sperm compared to b) frozen / dried (lyophilized) human sperm after UV irradiation.
[0195] Short answer: Freeze-dried human sperm maintains high DNA integrity compared to frozen sperm.
[0196] What is known: It was recently shown that mouse sperm that had been stored in a desiccated state on a space station for 9 months and exposed to cosmic radiation showed only minor DNA damage, which was repaired by oocytes and produced normal offspring.
[0197] Study Design, Size, Duration: Human spermatozoa were collected and frozen and freeze-dried. DNA integrity was measured using Hallosperm for: 1. Fresh control, 2. Freeze dried and rehydrated, 3. Freeze dried irradiated and rehydrated, 4. Freeze irradiated and thawed.
[0198] Participants / Materials, Settings, Methods:
[0199]Fresh human sperm sa...
Embodiment 3
[0205] Embodiment 3 (use ovarian tissue)
[0206] Mouse ovaries were dissected and cut into 1×10×5 mm sections. Ovarian sections were exposed to Lyo solution containing 10% DMSO, 10% HAS in PBS. After exposure to the LYO solution, the sections were placed inside straws with special pods (also called capsules) as described in PCT WO / 2017 / 064715A1 and cooled at a rate of 1 °C / min using a Darya apparatus.
[0207] Figure 12 and 13A The drying step is shown in . Place the cells on the surface or in the vial on the shelf. The vacuum monitor indicated a pressure of 10 mTorr and the condenser was set at a temperature of -115°C. Drying at relatively high negative temperatures, ie primary drying, is carried out by keeping the shelf temperature slightly below the Tg' of -30°C. Secondary drying with Darya was done by raising the shelf temperature by 10°C every hour until the desired storage temperature was reached - which could be LN to RT. At the conclusion of the primary and / or...
