A randomized controlled trial looked at in-vitro fertilization (IVF) outcomes in the UK and Hong Kong. The results, published in The Lancet, provide much-needed evidence that using time-lapse imaging ...

Time-lapse imaging is a technique used in IVF that takes thousands of time-lapse images of embryos as they grow, creating a continuous view of each embryo as it develops. Some fertility practitioners ...

The heart of the system is a machine-learning model that analyzes nine time-lapse video images of an embryo under a microscope in a key interval about five days after fertilization to generate an ...

The combination of a good quality embryo and proper maternal health factors promise higher chances of a successful in vitro fertilization (IVF) procedure leading to clinical pregnancy and live birth.

Avoiding a multiple pregnancy during IVF seems easy: Just transfer a single embryo. Single-embryo transfer is associated with a lower pregnancy rate as well as a much reduced multiple pregnancy rate.

Biologists have provided new insights on a longstanding puzzle in biology: How complex organisms arise from a single fertilized cell. Producing a new 'gene atlas' with 4-D imaging, the researchers ...

Though more than 8 million babies have been born through in vitro fertilization (IVF), 70% of IVF implantations fail. As IVF is becoming a more common route to pregnancy in cases of infertility, there ...

As an embryo grows, there is a continuous stream of communication between cells to form tissues and organs. Cells need to read numerous cues from their environment, and these may be chemical or ...
