follicular response and low estradiol (E2) levels following ovarian stimulation by FSH/HMG …

Developmental arrest in preimplantation embryos is one of the major causes of assisted
reproduction failure. It is briefly defined as a delay or a failure of embryonic development in …

Topoisomerase II homologue 2 (PATL2) has been confirmed to be a key gene that
