Further improvements in the IVF laboratory, enhancements in stimulation protocols, and advancements in predicting an embryo’s potential will continue. In the end, these innovations will provide the ability to safely stimulate patients and assure transfer of a single developmentally competent embryo, thus leading to the ultimate goal of a successful singleton pregnancy.
Human Embryo Culture Dilemma Continues: “Back to Nature” or “Let the Embryo Choose”
This data strongly suggests that a “one step embryo culture” protocol could provide improved clinical pregnancy rate as well as lower multiple pregnancy and miscarriage rates. It also provides evidence that the preimplantation human embryo can be successfully cultured using a “one step protocol”.
Maternal Diabetes Causes Alterations of DNA Methylation Statuses of Some Imprinted Genes in Murine Oocytes
Embryo development was adversely affected by maternal diabetes, however, no evident imprinting abnormality was observed in oocytes from female offspring derived from a diabetic mother. These results indicate that maternal diabetes has adverse effects on DNA methylation of oocytes, which may contribute to the decreased fertility.
Engineered multilayer ovarian tissue that secretes sex steroids and peptide hormones in response to gonadotropins
In summary, we have designed a multilayer engineered ovarian tissue that secretes sex steroids and peptide hormones and responds to gonadotropins, thus demonstrating the ability to recapitulate native ovarian structure ex vivo.
The world's largest egg, belonging to an extinct Madagascan elephant bird, is up for auction in London. At 30 centimetres high and 21 centimetres wide, the egg is about 100 times larger than a chicken egg and larger than those laid by the dinosaurs.
Court refuses 'pregnant man' Thomas Beatie's divorce
An Arizona judge has refused to grant a divorce to a transgender man who gave birth to three children. The judge said there was insufficient evidence that Thomas Beatie was male when he married: the state bans same-sex marriage.
Estrogen Plus Progestin Use Linked With Increased Breast Cancer Incidence and Mortality
Estrogen plus progestin use is linked with increased breast cancer incidence. In addition, prognosis is similar for both users and nonusers of combined hormone therapy, suggesting that mortality from breast cancer may be higher for hormone therapy users as well, according to a study published March 29 in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute.
Veterinarians at the United States National Zoo have artificially inseminated a female giant panda, Mei Xiang, after natural breeding failed to occur. Mei Xiang was put under general anaesthesia on Saturday and inseminated with a combination of fresh semen and frozen semen collected from the zoo's male giant panda, Tian Tian.
The UK has moved closer to becoming the first country to allow the creation of babies from three people. The Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA) has advised the government that there is no evidence the advanced forms of IVF were unsafe.
Maternal Diabetes Impairs Methylation of Imprinted Gene in Oocytes
For the first time, researchers have shown that poorly controlled maternal diabetes has an adverse effect on methylation of the maternal imprinting gene Peg3, contributing to impaired development in offspring
A proof-of-concept study suggests the possibility of engineering artificial ovaries in the lab to provide a more natural option for hormone replacement therapy for women. In Biomaterials, a team from Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center's Institute for Regenerative Medicine report that in the laboratory setting, engineered ovaries showed sustained release of the sex hormones estrogen and progesterone.
