In the embryo transfer, the best quality embryos created in the laboratory by IVF/ICSI are introduced into the patient's uterus. It is a simple process that does not require anesthesia and after which the patient returns home with a normal life, but avoi
Cleavage-stage embryosBlastocystsGood quality embryo (GQE)To assess the variables that may predict which cleavage-stage embryo may develop into a blastocyst, and vice versa, to determine whether the cleavage-stage embryo morphology should be taken into consideration when transferring the embryo at the...

Whether from embryos or adult tissues, stem cells are few. But many are needed for cell therapies. There have been ethical and political problems with using embryonic stem cells -- so if there were a way to get more stem cells from adults, it might be less controversial. Enter the IPSC....
identical twins, the fertilized egg splits in two. In the case of identical triplets, the egg may split just once into three or it may split twice (where the egg splits first in two and then one of the two splits again), resulting in three embryos with the same general DNA ...
The ability to quickly alter the code of life has given us unprecedented power over the natural world. Should we use it?
“If naive human pluripotent stem cells are able to generate significant amounts of mature human cells in other larger species, it could be possible to make human tissues or even human organs in chimeric animals,” Feng explained. This would be possible using blastocyst complementation where, Feng...
