Delineation of Joint Molecule Resolution Pathways in Meiosis Identifies a Crossover-Specific Resolva
At the final step of homologous recombination, Holliday junction-containing joint molecules (JMs) are resolved to form crossover or noncrossover products. The enzymes responsible for JM resolution in vivo remain uncertain, but three distinct endonucl
The Istanbul consensus workshop on embryo assessment: proceedings of an expert meeting [Hum Reproduction version]
It is expected that the definition of common terminology and standardization of laboratory practice related to embryo morphology assessment will result in more effective comparisons of treatment outcomes. This document is intended to be referenced as
The effect of GM-CSF on development and aneuploidy in murine blastocysts
GM-CSF exerted a negative impact on blastocyst development at higher concentrations. GM-CSF did not affect the rates of mosaicism/aneuploidy, but did increase the percentage of aneuploid cells within the mosaic embryos. Adding GM-CSF to the culture m
When and how should new technology be introduced into the IVF laboratory?
If such preliminary studies are not performed and published, it is possible that technology bringing no clinical benefit or leading to adverse health outcomes in the children born by these practices may be introduced. All IVF clinics need to conside
The non-independence of treatment outcomes from repeat IVF cycles: estimates and consequences
For individual patients the failure of one or several embryo transfers does not have a big impact on the chances of success in future cycles. The magnitude of the correlations suggests that for any individual couple, previous cycle implantation fail
Trophectoderm morphology: an important parameter for predicting live birth after single blastocyst t
This study has shown, for the first time, the predictive strength of TE grade over ICM for selecting the best blastocyst for embryo replacement. It may be that, even though ICM is important, a strong TE layer is essential at this stage of embryo deve

Scientists Discover Tool That Uncrosses Chromosomes
Researchers at the University of California, Davis, have discovered a key tool that helps sperm and eggs develop exactly 23 chromosomes each. The work, which could lead to insights into fertility, spontaneous miscarriages, cancer and developmental di
DNA Repair Genes May Predict Ovarian Cancer Survival
A high score based on the expression of 23 genes involved in repairing DNA damage after platinum-based chemotherapy for ovarian cancer was associated with a 5-year survival of 40% versus 17% for women who had a low score, investigators reported.
