Cryopreservation of embryos has become an efficient method in Assisted Reproductive
Technologies (ART) and these methods are currently performed at nearly all fertility centers …

In livestock breeding, the successful outcome is largely depending on the “periconception
environment” which, in a narrow sense, refers to the genital tract, where gametogenesis and …

Objective To determine whether assisted reproductive technology (ART) cycles involving
cryopreserved-warmed embryos are associated with the development of preeclampsia …

Objective To compare neonatal health outcomes after fresh versus frozen ET (FET). Design
Retrospective analysis of a population-based database of linked clinically assisted …

Contents Vitrification has been shown to decrease the developmental capacity of
mammalian oocytes, and this is closely associated with the abnormal mRNA expressions of …

Background With the development of embryo freezing and warming technology, frozen-
thawed embryo transfer (FET) has been widely utilized. However, studies investigating the …

This study was designed to investigate the impact of vitrification on the transcriptome profile
of blastocysts using a porcine (Sus scrofa) model and a microarray approach. Blastocysts …

Background MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small RNA molecules that modulate post-
transcriptional gene regulation. They are often used as promising non-invasive biomarkers …

Background Given implantation failure limits the improvement of in vitro fertilization (IVF)
success rates, there is an urgency to identify potential biomarkers for embryo quality and …

Embryo cryopreservation is a widely used technique in infertility management and today is
an essential part of assisted reproductive technology (ART). In some cases, re-vitrification …
