Human preimplantation embryo culture media: past, present, and future
Systematic studies of mouse embryo culture beginning in 1949 led to an understanding of essential medium components for early mammalian embryos, and embryo culture from the zygote to the blastocyst stage was achieved in 1968. Since then, medium components that are either beneficial or detrimental for embryo culture have been identified. A variety of culture media that mimic the female reproduct...
متن کاملPreimplantation embryo programming: transcription, epigenetics, and culture environment.
Preimplantation development directs the formation of an implantation- or attachment-competent embryo so that metabolic interactions with the uterus can occur, pregnancy can be initiated, and fetal development can be sustained. The preimplantation embryo exhibits a form of autonomous development fueled by products provided by the oocyte and also from activation of the embryo's genome. Despite th...
متن کاملA non-invasive method for measuring preimplantation embryo physiology.
The physiology of the early embryo may be indicative of embryo vitality and therefore methods for non-invasively monitoring physiological parameters from embryos could improve preimplantation diagnoses. The self-referencing electrophysiological technique is capable of non-invasive measurement of the physiology of individual cells by monitoring the movement of ions and molecules between the cell...
متن کاملReflections on the culture of the preimplantation embryo.
There has been a considerable improvement in the media available for the culture of preimplantation mouse embryos during the 40 years since mouse embryos were first cultured and successfully transferred to uterine foster mothers. Two new media, KSOM and mMTF, are becoming more commonly used. The history of the development of these media, including recent work on KSOM and mMTF, is reviewed. A ma...
متن کاملpreimplantation mouse embryo
The role of membrane sterols in the compaction and subsequent development of the preimplantation mouse embryo was studied by incubating embryos in 7-ketocholesterol and other oxygenated sterols. These sterols have been shown to inhibit sterol synthesis and deplete membranes of cholesterol in a variety of other cell types. Compaction and subsequent blastocyst formation were normal when embryos w...
