Methods of cryopreservation of testicular tissue with viable spermatogonia in pre-pubertal boys undergoing gonadotoxic cancer treatment

Pre-pubertal testicular tissue from boys facing gonadotoxic treatment survives cryopreservation, can be cryobanked and hopefully used for fertility preservation. Slow programmed freezing with DMSO as a cryoprotectant is efficient in maintaining the spermatogonia, Sertoli cells and stromal compartment during freezing, thawing and tissue culture.
