Engineered models of the human embryo
Embryo models built from stem cells promise to shed light on human development
The past decade has seen the rise of a new subfield in human developmental biology known as synthetic embryology. Starting from human pluripotent stem cells, researchers have begun to create cell structures that capture specific features or processes of the early embryo, such as the epiblast, trophoblast, amniotic cavity, axis development and gastrulation

Fertilization failure (FF) and zygotic arrest after ICSI have a huge effect on both patients and clinicians, but both problems are usually unexpected and cannot be properly diagnosed. Fortunately, in
Vitrification is the most efficient approach for oocyte cryopreservation. It is commonly applied in oocyte donation programs and considered safe. However, the effect of long-term storage of oocytes on laboratory
