A newly presented study by IVI at the 41st Annual Meeting of the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology (ESHRE) has demonstrated improved ovarian function in mice following the injection of a specific combination of key proteins The study, conducted in female mice with premature ovarian insufficiency (POI), resulted in a fivefold increase in… View Article
Barcelona hosts the congress of the world’s largest corporation exclusively dedicated to assisted human reproduction, bringing together over 1,300 professionals, researchers, and academics from 58 countries Denny Sakkas, Chief Scientific Officer IVIRMA North America and Associate Professor at Yale University School of Medicine, will discuss pioneering research on stem cell biology and tissue engineering aimed… View Article
Additionally, AI-driven embryo selection increases pregnancy rates by 5%, reaching a cumulative increase of 7% Regarding gamete selection, AI potentially identifies sperm with the highest fertilization potential and embryos more likely to result in successful pregnancy. It also selects higher-quality eggs, particularly valuable for fertility preservation programs AI advancements presented at the congress offer substantial… View Article
Current preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) detects macroscopic chromosomal anomalies and certain known hereditary disorders within specific family genetic histories. However, around 50% of euploid embryos fail to implant, with an additional 10% resulting in miscarriage The integration of clinical whole-genome sequencing (WGS) into PGT represents a promising strategy to overcome the limitations of current methodologies,… View Article
Human papillomavirus (HPV) affects both women and men, with different implications for their fertility, especially when co-infected with chlamydia In women, HPV can cause lesions such as scarring, adhesions, or blockages in the fallopian tubes, while in men, it can impact sperm quality, motility, or even lead to DNA fragmentation There is also an increased… View Article
Four years after cancer treatment, most patients recover sperm concentration and motility, but little was known about how the treatment affects the epigenetics of human sperm, the mechanism that modifies genes and has the ability to activate or silence their expression This study, the largest conducted to date, suggests changes occurred in the sperm methylome… View Article
There is controversy regarding the role of ejaculatory abstinence in sperm quality and its fertilizing ability, or embryo quality. Recent studies have highlighted the positive effects of short abstinence periods to prevent loss of motility and increased DNA fragmentation in sperm In this context, a recent study suggested that prolonged abstinence could reduce the fertilization… View Article
Approximately 60% of embryos expand after thawing. Those that exhibit this expansion within the first few minutes are generally associated with better outcomes once transferred to the uterus, compared to those that expand later. This pioneering study, which includes 800 embryos and utilizes artificial intelligence, provides novel and relevant information for creating a reliable program… View Article
Insulin resistance may be related to recurrent miscarriages, a condition affecting approximately 2-5% of women of reproductive age Another study evaluates the presence of a family of proteins that protect telomeres, preventing their shortening and, consequently, premature aging. These findings could help define treatments to prevent or even reverse ovarian aging VANCOUVER, MARCH 15, 2024… View Article
