X-Message-Number: 24523 From: "Basie" <> Subject: Horses again Date: Mon, 16 Aug 2004 23:50:17 -0400 What interested me was only the following paragraph: >Cryo is the process of deep-freezing cell, tissues or gametes for later use. However, in horses, variation in sperm survival following freezing, between individual stallions, hinders this technology. Veterinarian researchers Claire Plante, John Pollard, Walter Johnson and DVSc Student Tracey Chenier, theriogenology, are identifying factors which underlie semen variability in response to freezing.< It made me wonder at what point in time will cryo protectants be custom made for a particular individual with a particular medical condition.
