Microfluidic devices for the study of sperm migration
Microfluidics technology offers us an opportunity to model the biophysical and biochemical environments encountered by sperm moving through the female reproductive tract and, at the same time, to study sperm swimming dynamics at a quantitative level. In humans, coitus results in the deposition of sperm in the vagina at the entrance to the cervix.
Online tool predicts chances of conceiving with IVF
An online calculator that predicts a couple’s individualised chances of conceiving, after a single cycle of in vitro fertilisation (IVF) or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) treatment and over a course of cycles, has been created by researchers using data from the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority register, The BMJ reports
Novel technologies emerging for preimplantation genetic diagnosis and preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy {Review, requries access}
reimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) was introduced as an alternative to prenatal diagnosis: embryos cultured in vitro were analysed for a monogenic disease and only disease-free embryos were transferred to the mother, to avoid the termination of pregnancy with an affected foetus. It soon transpired that human embryos show a great deal of acquired chromosomal abnormalities, thought to explain the low success rate of IVF – hence preimplantation
Inhibition of mTOR induces a paused pluripotent state
Here we report that the partial inhibition of mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR), a major nutrient sensor and promoter of growth3, induces reversible pausing of mouse blastocyst development and allows their prolonged culture ex vivo. Paused blastocysts remain pluripotent and competent—able to give rise to embryonic stem (ES) cells and live, fertile mice.
Sperm Chromatin Dispersion Test before Sperm Preparation Is Predictive of Clinical Pregnancy in Cases of Unexplained Infertility Treated with Intraute
However, when selecting only those men with a pretreatment DNA fragmentation of at least 20%, the pretreatment result was statistically different between couples who achieved a clinical pregnancy and those who did not.
Nearly all costly add-on treatments offered by UK fertility clinics to increase the chance of a birth through IVF are not supported by high-quality evidence proving that they work, a study has revealed.
Researchers put mouse embryos in suspended animation
Researchers have found a way to pause the development of early mouse embryos for up to a month in the lab, a finding with potential implications for assisted reproduction, regenerative medicine, aging and even cancer, the authors say.
Q&A has developed some models to help you anticipate your chance of success. Every couple have a unique chance of success based upon their own factors such as age and fecundity (number of eggs). Your treatment by your own clinic will differ between clinics and doctors and their special medical assessment. The models provide a more general guide to help you decide about future treatment but is NOT medical advice.
Italian hotels offer free stay for couples who conceive
A group of hotels in the Italian city of Assisi are offering a free holiday to couples who conceive there. The Fertility Room project, started by the local tourism councillor, is an attempt to boost local travel and the country's flagging birth rate. Couples who produce a birth certificate showing their baby was born nine months after their stay will be offered a future free stay or reimbursed.
