Here we demonstrate the newly developed I•Cryo kit for mouse sperm cryopreservation. Two-cell stage embryo development with frozen-thawed sperm was improved consistently in 5 mouse strains with the use of this kit. Over a 1.5 year period, 49 genetically modified mouse lines were archived by sperm cryopreservation with the I•Cryo kit and later successfully recovered by IVF.

This protocol details auricular plaster therapy using Vaccaria seeds on specific acupoints to promote recovery after surgical abortion. As a non-pharmacological adjunct to conventional treatment, it reduces vaginal bleeding duration, alleviates symptoms, and accelerates menstrual cycle restoration, demonstrating both safety and efficacy in clinical application.

In this video, we describe a procedure to infuse pancreatic islet cells into the hepatic portal vein, followed by application of gel foam to successfully prevent bleeding. Postoperative bleeding is a common cause of high mortality during islet transplantation.
FAQs
Anesthesia emergence is an important early transition because physiological stability must return after surgery before recovery can be judged reliably. Monitoring during this period helps identify whether the mouse is regaining normal function or requires intervention. Interpreting movement, respiration, and behavior alongside temperature and hydration provides a broader assessment than relying on wakefulness alone.
Maintaining body temperature and hydration supports the return of stable physiological function during postoperative mouse recovery. Changes in either measure can indicate that normal function has not yet returned, even when other observations appear acceptable. Including both variables in repeated assessments helps researchers recognize emerging complications and apply consistent recovery criteria across animals and experiments.
Behavior, movement, respiration, incision condition, and weight provide complementary evidence of recovery. No single observation fully describes postoperative status, so repeated assessment is important for identifying trends rather than isolated findings. Together, these measures help distinguish improving function from persistent distress or complications that may require intervention.
Appropriate analgesia is part of both animal welfare and reliable recovery assessment. By helping minimize pain and stress, it reduces procedure-related distress that could otherwise influence behavior, movement, and weight. Consistent analgesic management therefore supports clearer interpretation of whether observed changes reflect the surgical model or the effects of inadequate postoperative care.
A structured workflow begins with supporting anesthesia emergence, temperature, hydration, and analgesia, followed by repeated checks of behavior, movement, respiration, incision condition, and weight. Researchers compare these observations over time to determine whether stable function is returning. Consistency in the sequence and criteria strengthens welfare oversight and improves comparability among animals.
In bioengineering, recovery monitoring helps separate effects caused by an implant, biomaterial, tissue-engineered construct, or surgical model from effects caused by procedure-related distress. This distinction is essential when evaluating outcomes over time. Standardized observations also improve reproducibility, support animal welfare, and make longitudinal results easier to interpret within the study design.
