Membrane lipid changes in mouse blastocysts induced by ovarian stimulation, IVF and oocyte vitrification

Is the membrane lipid profile of mice blastocysts affected by ovarian stimulation, IVF and oocyte vitrification? Could supplementation of vitrification media with L-carnitine and fatty acids prevent m...

Efficacy of vitrification in oocytes (brief review)

Spanish scientists have been interested in the subject: whether oocyte vitrification/warming is as efficient and effective as using fresh oocytes in donation cycles. ...

Birth defects in children conceived by ICSI compared with children conceived by other IVF methods, a meta-analysis

The Future of IVF: The New Normal in Human Reproduction

Increased demand for in vitro fertilization (IVF) due to socio-demographic trends, and supply facilitated by new technologies, converged to transform the way a substantial proportion of humans reprodu...

Uterine epithelial Gp130 orchestrates hormone response and epithelial remodeling for successful embryo attachment in mice

Japanese scientists have investigated and shown the role of inhibitor 130 (Gp130) in the embryo implantation process. Gp130 is a part of the Leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) receptor. The latter has i...
