Single blastocyst transfer yields similar pregnancy rates compared with multiple cleavage embryo transfer, with reduced twin rate, in patients with low number of fertilized oocytes

open access: yesMiddle East Fertility Society Journal, 2020
Background In patients with low numbers of embryos, there is not yet consensus on whether to extend culture to the blastocyst stage, especially due to the risk that some or all of the embryos will not make it to the blastocyst stage. The objective of our

Prostaglandins in Swine Blastocysts [PDF]

open access: yesBiology of Reproduction, 1983
The activity of phospholipase A2 (PLA2) and the content of prostaglandins (PGF and PGE-A) in swine blastocysts were determined on Days 7 through 14 of gestation by using radioenzymatic and radioimmunoassay techniques. Both PLA2 activity and PG content increased in the blastocyst with age.

Repeats as global DNA methylation marker in bovine preimplantation embryos [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
DNA methylation undergoes dynamic changes and is a crucial part of the epigenetic regulation during mammalian early development. To determine the DNA methylation levels in bovine embryos, we applied a bisulfite sequencing based method aimed at repetitive

Clinical outcome of fresh and vitrified-warmed blastocyst and cleavage-stage embryo transfers in ethnic Chinese ART patients

open access: yesJournal of Ovarian Research, 2012
Objectives This study sought to evaluate the outcome of fresh and vitrified-warmed cleavage-stage and blastocyst-stage embryo transfers in patients undergoing ART treatment within an ethnic Chinese population.

Blastomere movement post first cell division correlates with embryonic compaction and subsequent blastocyst formation

open access: yesReproductive Biology and Endocrinology, 2019
Background Blastomere movement (BMov) occurs after the first cell division in human embryos. This movement has been suggested as a prognostic parameter for pregnancy outcome prediction following cleavage-stage embryo transfer. However, the effect of BMov

Fatty Acid Supplementation During in vitro Embryo Production Determines Cryosurvival Characteristics of Bovine Blastocysts

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022
In vitro production (IVP) embryos have a reduced quality and poor cryotolerance in comparison to in vivo embryos. This study investigated whether free fatty acid (FFA) conditions, fatty acid free (FAF)- synthetic oviduct fluid (SOF) without or with 25 μM

Morphogenesis of the mammalian blastocyst

open access: yesMolecular and Cellular Endocrinology, 2008
The first 4 days of mouse pre-implantation development are characterized by a period of segmentation, including morphogenetic events that are required for the divergence of embryonic and extra-embryonic lineages. These extra-embryonic tissues are essential for the implantation into the maternal uterus and for the development of the foetus.

Comparative Embryo Development Outcomes following Extending Embryo Culture to Day 6: A Retrospective Cohort Study [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Fertility and Sterility, 2023
Background: Past studies have shown that culturing slow-growing embryos from day 5 to day 6 may increase vitrification yield. This study aims to evaluate if the proportion of embryos eligible for vitrification increases by growing embryos not vitrified ...
