Abstract:
The aim of semen cryopreservation research is to elevate the proportion of competent spermatozoa after thawing. By means of molecular biology, the research of spermatozoa injury during cryopreservation reaches molecular level. In each stage of cryopreservation, there exists its own optimal condition for cooling. Cryopreservation medium still need to be improved. Men should pay more attention to the field of spermatozoa function. Assisted reproductive technology (ART) has a close relationship with the technology of semen cryopreservation. The latter's development will improve the former.
