Embryo Implantation

• 

  Subject Areas on Research

  • A comparative analysis of embryo implantation potential in patients with severe teratozoospermia undergoing in-vitro fertilization with a high insemination concentration or intracytoplasmic sperm injection. 
  • Are implantation and pregnancy outcome impaired in diethylstilbestrol-exposed women after in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer? 
  • Assessment of day-3 morphology and euploidy for individual chromosomes in embryos that develop to the blastocyst stage. 
  • Basal follicle-stimulating hormone level is a better predictor of in vitro fertilization performance than age. 
  • Cellular and molecular responses of the uterus to embryo implantation can be elicited by locally applied growth factors. 
  • Endometrial receptivities after leuprolide suppression and gonadotropin stimulation: histology, steroid receptor concentrations, and implantation rates. 
  • Implantation and pregnancy rates in relation to oestradiol and progesterone profiles in cycles with and without the use of gonadotrophin-releasing hormone agonist suppression. 
  • Influence of patient age on the association between euploidy and day-3 embryo morphology. 
  • Joint models for toxicology studies with dose-dependent number of implantations. 
  • Modulation of implantation-associated integrin expression but not uteroglobin by steroid hormones in an endometrial cell line. 
  • Natural limits of pregnancy testing in relation to the expected menstrual period. 
  • Obstetrician-gynecologists' beliefs about when pregnancy begins. 
  • Predictive value of pregnancy during original in vitro fertilization cycle on implantation and pregnancy in subsequent cryothaw cycles. 
  • Pregnancy outcomes decline with increasing body mass index: analysis of 239,127 fresh autologous in vitro fertilization cycles from the 2008-2010 Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology registry. 
  • Pregnancy outcomes decline with increasing recipient body mass index: an analysis of 22,317 fresh donor/recipient cycles from the 2008-2010 Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology Clinic Outcome Reporting System registry. 
  • Pregnancy rates in donor oocyte cycles compared to similar autologous in vitro fertilization cycles: an analysis of 26,457 fresh cycles from the Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology. 
  • Relationship between pre-embryo pronuclear morphology (zygote score) and standard day 2 or 3 embryo morphology with regard to assisted reproductive technique outcomes. 
  • Sonographic appearance of the endometrium: the predictive value for the outcome of in-vitro fertilization in stimulated cycles. 
  • Stress affects uterine receptivity through an ovarian-independent pathway. 
  • Tenascin is induced at implantation sites in the mouse uterus and interferes with epithelial cell adhesion. 
  • The significance of hydrosalpinx in in vitro fertilization. 
  • Transfer of cryopreserved-thawed pre-embryos in a cycle using exogenous steroids without prior gonadotrophin-releasing hormone agonist suppression yields favourable pregnancy results. 
  • Transfer of cryopreserved-thawed pre-embryos in a natural cycle or a programmed cycle with exogenous hormonal replacement yields similar pregnancy results. 
  • Ultrasonographic appearance of the endometrium in natural and stimulated in-vitro fertilization cycles and its correlation with outcome. 
  • siRNA inhibition of aspartyl-asparaginyl β-hydroxylase expression impairs cell motility, Notch signaling, and fetal growth.
