Embryo donation families : a follow-up in middle childhood [PDF]
Couples who conceive using donated embryos rear a child to whom they are genetically unrelated. It has been suggested that this may have negative consequences for parenting and child development.

IGF1-mediated human embryonic stem cell self-renewal recapitulates the embryonic niche
The signals regulating the establishment and maintenance of the pluripotent epiblast in human embryos are unclear. Here, the authors use a bioinformatics approach to identify the role of IGF1 in human embryo development, and from this, propose a culture ...

An immunological approach of sperm sexing and different methods for identification of X- and Y-chromosome bearing sperm [PDF]
Separation of X- and Y-chromosome bearing sperm has been practiced for selection of desired sex of offspring to increase the profit in livestock industries. At present, fluorescence-activated cell sorter is the only successful method for separation of X-

Digital Three-Dimensional Atlas of Quail Development Using High-Resolution MRI [PDF]
We present an archetypal set of three-dimensional digital atlases of the quail embryo based on microscopic magnetic resonance imaging (µMRI). The atlases are composed of three modules: (1) images of fixed ex ovo quail, ranging in age from embryonic day 5

Endometrial stromal cells of women with recurrent miscarriage fail to discriminate between high- and low-quality human embryos [PDF]
Background The aetiology of recurrent miscarriage (RM) remains largely unexplained. Women with RM have a shorter time to pregnancy interval than normally fertile women, which may be due to more frequent implantation of non-viable embryos.
