The recent success with a rat ovary was impressive (indications are that it is not falsely reported), but contrary to claims it was not the first revival of a cryopreserved, mammalian organ. This had already been done with a rat intestine (many years ago), as someone reminded me in a recent, private message. Also, the ovaries were small enough to be cryoprotected by soaking rather than perfusion, something not feasible at the human scale.
