Cryopreservation is hypothesized to result in apoptosis, contributing to stromal damage and follicle loss in ovarian tissue. This study investigated tissue viability following whole ovine ovary cryopreservation and examined the effects of the anti-apoptotic agent sphingosine-1-phosphate (S-1-P) on ovarian cryopreservation efficiency.
