Over the last decades, tissue engineering has demonstrated an unquestionable potential to regenerate damaged tissues and organs. Some tissue-engineered solutions recently entered the clinics (eg, artificial bladder, corneal epithelium, engineered skin), but most of the pathologies of interest are still far from being solved. The advent of stem cells opened the door to large-scale production of ...

background: multiple factors have been suggested for prediction of pregnancy in intracytoplasmic sperm injection (icsi) cycles such as the number of injected oocytes, fertilization rate, embryo morphology and quality of transferred embryos. predictive value of these factors is important in icsi outcome. objectives: to evaluate the role of embryo morphology for prediction of pregnancy in icsi cy...

repeatability, (the consistency with which a given trait is expressed) of aggressiveness against prey (attack latency) in gravid females of the predatory mite neoseiulus californicus (mcgregor) was examined. in two experiments, prey - conspecific individuals, the onion thrips thrips tabaci (lindeman), and the two-spotted spider mite tetranychus urticae koch- were repeatedly offered in various n...

abstract background: for infertile women aged over 35 years, failure of the zp (zona pellucida) to rupture is believed to be associated with a decreased implantation rate in in vitro fertilization (ivf) or intra cytoplasmic sperm injection (icsi). objective: in this research, laser assisted hatching (lah) was offered to patients with advanced maternal age to evaluate a possible benefit. materia...
