Replicating the varying physiological conditions of the in-vivo environment that the embryo travels through in the in-vitro culture is still a major challenge in ART. This practical volume details how ...

A stem-cell derived human embryo model showing blue cells (embryo), yellow cells (yolk sac) and pink cells (placenta). Scientists have grown an entity that closely resembles an early human embryo ...

Co-culture: Culturing the embryos on cells from the woman's reproductive tract (fallopian tubes and uterus). Helps reduce cytoplasmic fragments (see #25) and improve embryo quality. Testicular ...

The oocytes that are obtained are then fertilized with sperm to make embryos. The embryos are placed in culture for up to a week. At that time, they can be directly cryopreserved or biopsied for PGT ...

Significantly fewer two-cell embryos were able to develop to the morula/blastocyst or blastocyst stages in culture following vitrification by either technique compared to control embryos.
