The form of cell division by which egg and sperm cells are formed. Unlike normal cell division (mitosis), the number of chromosomes in the resulting cells is half that in the original cells.
Variants in three genes have been linked to an increased risk of a woman creating aneuploid embryos while undergoing IVF and used to create a risk score using machine learning...
A recent large randomised trial published in the New England Journal of Medicine is receiving significant attention with clinicians who are critical of preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A) claiming it provides evidence that PGT-A does not improve IVF outcomes and should not be used outside of research settings…
Sarah Norcross, director of the Progress Educational Trust, invited the audience of the event to consider where assisted reproductive technologies stood 55 years ago...
What does it take to make a family when natural conception is difficult or even impossible?..
Researchers in Japan have successfully demonstrated the development of functional sperm cells that developed into fertile offspring from pluripotent embryonic stem cells, in mice...
BRCA2 mutations may be implicated in infertility, as well as increasing cancer risk, according to new research...
Gene variants affecting a single gene have been identified in men who do not produce sperm, giving some insight into genetic control of sperm production...
An in vitro gametogenesis (IVG) breakthrough has been achieved as mouse stem cells have been used to create egg cells that have successfully developed into live mice when used in IVF...
In the 16 December issue of Nature, researchers reported that the addition of eight transcription factors to pluripotent stem cells converted them into a primary oocyte-like cell...
Meiosis, when cells divide to produce eggs, goes wrong much more than previously thought...
