Which Stage of Mouse Embryos Is More Appropriate for Vitrification? [PDF]
International Journal of Fertility and Sterility, 2017 Background Vitrification has been shown as one of the most effective methods of cryopreservation for mammalian embryos. However, there is no consensus which stage of embryonic development is the most appropriate for vitrification with subsequent maximal ...

Preimplantation Stress and Development [PDF]
Birth Defects Research Part C: Embryo Today: Reviews, 2012 The developmental origins of health and disease hypothesis holds that inappropriate environmental cues in utero, a period marked by tremendous developmental sensitivity, facilitate cellular reprogramming to ultimately predispose disease in adulthood. In this review, we analyze if stress during early stages of development can affect future health.

Seminal Fluid Metabolomic Markers of Oligozoospermic Infertility in Humans
Metabolites, 2020 Infertility affects 12−15% of couples worldwide, and male factors are the cause of nearly half of all cases. Studying seminal fluid composition could lead to additional diagnostic accuracy and a better understanding of the pathophysiology of male ...

Expression Profile of Developmentally Important Genes in preand peri-Implantation Goat Embryos Produced In Vitro [PDF]
International Journal of Fertility and Sterility, 2016 Background: Little is understood about the regulation of gene expression during early goat embryo development. This study investigated the expression profile of 19 genes, known to be critical for early embryo development in mouse and human, at five ...

MERVL/Zscan4 Network Activation Results in Transient Genome-wide DNA Demethylation of mESCs
Cell Reports, 2016 Mouse embryonic stem cells are dynamic and heterogeneous. For example, rare cells cycle through a state characterized by decondensed chromatin and expression of transcripts, including the Zscan4 cluster and MERVL endogenous retrovirus, which are usually ...

Preimplantation HLA Testing [PDF]
JAMA, 2004 Preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) has become an option for couples for whom termination of an affected pregnancy identified by traditional prenatal diagnosis is unacceptable and is applicable to indications beyond those of prenatal diagnosis, such as HLA matching to affected siblings to provide stem cell transplantation.To describe ...

Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis
Donald School Journal of Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology, 2022 Preimplantation genetic diagnosis or screening is a very early form of prenatal diagnosis that allows embryos to be tested for genetic disorders before pregnancy has begun. The procedure offers an advantage for couples with genetic disorders whose offspring has an increased risk of a specific genetic condition by helping in the delivery of a healthy ...
