Cryopreservation of human ovarian tissue

Approaches to the cryopreservation of human ovarian tissue are typically characterised by the use of slow freezing/rapid thawing methods using dimethyl sulfoxide or 1,2-propanediol (PROH) as cryoprotectants. This paper reviews current experience with these procedures.
