Cryopreservation has important application in assisted reproductive technology (ART). The
vitrification technique has been widely used in the cryopreservation of oocytes and embryos …

BACKGROUND Genomic imprinting is an epigenetic gene regulatory mechanism; disruption
of this process during early embryonic development can have major consequences on both …

The first crucial step in the developmental program occurs during pre-implantation, the time
after the oocyte has been fertilized and before the embryo implants in the uterus. This period …

Assisted reproductive technologies (ART) significantly increase the chance of successful
pregnancy and live birth in infertile couples. The different procedures for ART, including in …

An increasing number of researchers have alluded to the potential benefit of deferring the
transfer of embryos produced during assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs) away from …

Regulation of the epigenome is a mechanism by which the environment influences gene
expression and consequently the health of the individual. The advent and refinement of …

Drastic epigenetic reprogramming occurs during human gametogenesis and early embryo
development. Advances in low-input and single-cell epigenetic techniques have provided …

Vitrification is increasingly used in assisted reproductive technology (ART) laboratories
worldwide, and potential vitrification‐induced risks require further exploration. The effect of …

Vitrification is widely used in assisted reproductive technologies. However, the nervous
system of vitrification offspring is of concern, and research on this is lacking. Vitrification-born …

Purpose Does vitrification/warming affect the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) content and the
gene expression profile of blastocysts? Methods Prospective cohort study in which 89 …
