Reproductive Tissue Biobank – A Minireview

Abstract

Biobanks of reproductive tissues are essential for drug discovery and disease modeling of reproductive diseases. They 
represent biobanks that collect, store, and manage biological samples, such as sperm, oocytes, embryos, and reproductive 
tissues, as well as associated clinical and genetic data. The RTB aims to promote infertility research by providing high-quality 
biological samples for academic and clinical studies related to genetic disorders and other reproductive health issues. The RTB 
will: a) Create generation and dissemination of tissue samples and samples from reproductive tissues. b) Comply with ethical 
and regulatory frameworks for using reproductive tissues in research and treatment. c) Enable the identification of new 
biomarkers, therapeutic targets, and personalized therapies for reproductive diseases. In this article, we will discuss how and 
why reproductive tissue biobanks are formed, their relevance, and their increasing importance for advancing reproductive 
medicine.
