Studies to find better ways to preserve human eggs, ovarian tissue under way

The goal is to make human eggs, ovarian tissue, blood vessels, even whole organs available when needed.

To get there, researchers are directly comparing slow-freezing techniques, used successfully for decades to preserve sperm and embryos, to a more rapid method of cryopreservation that transforms tissues into durable

“Regenerative medicine will help supplement the shortage of organs in the future, and we need technology to preserve those we make.”

AmpliChip CYP450 Test

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., June 13 /PRNewswire/ -- The Center for Molecular Medicine (CMM) today announced it is the first Midwest-based laboratory to offer the FDA-approved AmpliChip(R) CYP450 Test to physicians and hospitals.

This genomics-based, FDA-approved clinical laboratory test provides physicians information that may be used to help determine a patient's unique ability or inability to metabolize a large variety of prescription drugs. AmpliChip CYP450 test results may be used by physicians to make more rational drug prescription decisions, reduce "trial and error" prescription and dosing and guard against dangerous and expensive adverse drug reactions.
