Abstract

Cellular technologies are a novel approach used for the protection of endangered animals, based on advances in cell biology and biotechnology. In vitro production of embryos, germplasm cryopreservation and somatic reprogramming give new perspectives for the protection of the European bison - Wisent (Bison bonasus) considered an endangered species. These biotechniques enable the preservation of germplasm, i.e. genetic material in the form of mature and immature oocytes, spermatozoa, embryos, and also somatic cells, which can be reprogrammed. They can contribute to the program of wisent restitution, particularly in the field of preservation of genetic diversity, providing the reservoir of the gene pool for the future

Keywords: Wisent - European bison (Bison bonasus), IVP, cryopreservation, gametes, embryos, iPSCs
