Head birefringence properties are associated with acrosome reaction, sperm motility and morphology
These data support a strong association between partial birefringence and reacted acrosome and show that the patterns of birefringence vary depending on sperm motility and morphology.
China’s model of egg donation is a policy lesson for Britain
In a move designed to increase the UK’s supply of donor eggs, the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority has recently agreed to a fixed-sum compensation policy for donors “which better reflects their expenses” and inconvenience. Such a policy,
Does exogenous LH in ovarian stimulation improve assisted reproduction success? An appraisal of the
Using a form of LH combined with FSH derived from humans (human menopausal gonadotrophin) results in a 3–4% higher live birth rate. Insufficient scientific evidence exists to recommend other forms of LH and more research is needed to clarify this que
Targeted gonadotrophin stimulation using the PIVET algorithm markedly reduces the risk of OHSS
This study developed an FSH dosage algorithm based upon several risk factors and targeting women with the potential for OHSS so that the dose of hormone could be minimized. This significantly reduced the need for increased monitoring and incidence of
Vitrification of human embryos previously cryostored by either slow freezing or vitrification result
When these recryopreserved embryos were subsequently warmed, they exhibited a high survival rate and, after embryo transfer, a pregnancy rate similar to once-cryopreserved embryos. While recryopreservation has to date demonstrated that the embryos re
Sperm cryopreservation before cancer treatment: a 15-year monocentric experience
This study of a large population of cancer patients revealed a high level of successful sperm storage. Utilization of cryopreserved spermatozoa in assisted reproduction led to good chances of fatherhood. Nevertheless, sperm banks should be aware of t
Dynamics of anterior–posterior axis formation in the developing mouse embryo
The development of an anterior–posterior (AP) polarity is a crucial process that in the mouse has been very difficult to analyse, because it takes place as the embryo implants within the mother. To overcome this obstacle, we have established an in-vi
Cdk1, but not Cdk2, is the sole Cdk that is essential and sufficient to drive resumption of meiosis
Thus, Cdk1 is the sole Cdk that is essential and sufficient to drive resumption of meiosis in mouse oocytes. We also found that Cdk1 maintains the phosphorylation status of protein phosphatase 1 (PP1) and lamin A/C in oocytes in order for meiosis res
Discovery of a Molecule That Initiates Maturation of Mammalian Eggs Can Lead to More IVF Pregnancies
Women who have eggs that cannot mature will not become pregnant, and they cannot be helped by in vitro fertilization (IVF). Now researchers at the University of Gothenburg have identified a molecule called Cdk1 that has an important function for mamm
Artificial 'Womb' Unlocks Secrets of Early Embryo Development
A team led by Professor of Tissue Engineering, Kevin Shakesheff, has created a new device in the form of a soft polymer bowl which mimics the soft tissue of the mammalian uterus in which the embryo implants. The research has been published in the jou
Indian-born surrogate twins accorded French civil status despite ban on surrogacy
The Court of Appeal in Rennes, France, has upheld an earlier decision to accord civil status - similar to nationality - to twins carried by a surrogate mother in India for a French couple. The decision is in marked contrast to that arrived at in a se
IVF chances boosted by 10 percent using new procedure
Protecting embryos from a laboratory environment during IVF treatment could increase successful pregnancy rates from 35 percent to 45 percent. A novel system, trialled in a recent study, consists of a chain of fully enclosed, interlinked incubators,
Guidance for couples going abroad for surrogacy services published in Ireland
Explained in the guidelines are the principles the Irish authorities will use to consider issues such as citizenship, parentage and guardianship when a child is born abroad through surrogacy to an Irish couple and it is intended that the child will l
