The ART of bringing extinction to a freeze- History and future of species conservation, exemplified by rhinos

TLDR
Art and aART greatly depend on and benefit from the rapidly evolving cryopreservation techniques and biobanking not only of genetic, but also of viable cellular materials suitable for the generation of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC).

Cryopreservation of Gametes and Embryos and Their Molecular Changes

TL;DR: In this article, molecular changes are associated with cryopreservation, affecting metabolism, cytoarchitecture, calcium homeostasis, epigenetic state, and cell survival, which compromise the fertilization in ART.

Resurrecting biodiversity: advanced assisted reproductive technologies and biobanking

TL;DR: In this article , the authors discuss the value of cryobanking before more species are lost and the potential of advanced reproductive technologies not only to halt but also to reverse biodiversity loss.
Journal ArticleDOI

Resetting the paradigm of reproductive science and conservation

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors argue that a much wider range of tissues should be banked, and the range of evolving advanced reproductive and developmental technologies should be considered for conservation breeding programs, to realize the maximum opportunities of genome banking to contribute to conservation of animal species.

Robust induction of primordial germ cells of white rhinoceros on the brink of extinction

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors induced primordial germ cell-like cells (PGCLCs) from pluripotent stem cells of the northern white rhinoceros (NWR), a species for which only two females remain, and the southern white rhino (SWR), the closest species to the NWR.

Ethical Analysis of the Application of Assisted Reproduction Technologies in Biodiversity Conservation and the Case of White Rhinoceros (Ceratotherium simum) Ovum Pick-Up Procedures

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors present a frame for the ethical analysis of ART procedures in conservation based on the Ethical Matrix (EM), and discuss a specific case study of OPU procedures performed in the current conservation efforts for the northern white rhinoceros (Ceratotherium simum cottoni).

The serial cultivation of human diploid cell strains.

TL;DR: A consideration of the cause of the eventual degeneration of these strains leads to the hypothesis that non-cumulative external factors are excluded and that the phenomenon is attributable to intrinsic factors which are expressed as senescence at the cellular level.

Accelerated modern human-induced species losses: Entering the sixth mass extinction

TL;DR: Estimates of extinction rates reveal an exceptionally rapid loss of biodiversity over the last few centuries, indicating that a sixth mass extinction is already under way and a window of opportunity is rapidly closing.

Revival of Spermatozoa after Vitrification and Dehydration at Low Temperatures

TL;DR: It would appear that rapidity of freezing is less important than the avoidance of surface effects, and Revival is far better when semen is frozen in bulk than when minimal amounts in capillary tubes are used.

The Anthropocene : A Challenge for the History of Science, Technology, and the Environment.

Helmuth Trischler
- 01 Jan 2016 - 
TL;DR: It is argued that the debate about the “Age of Humans” is a timely opportunity both to rethink the nature-culture relation and to re-assess the narratives that historians of science, technology, and the environment have written until now.

Translocation as a Species Conservation Tool: Status and Strategy

TL;DR: Surveys of recent intentional releases of native birds and mammals to the wild in Australia, Canada, Hawaii, New Zealand, and the United States were conducted to document current activities, identify factors associated with success, and suggest guidelines for enhancing future work.
