IVF Research

Understanding IVF (In Vitro Fertilization)

IVF is a medical procedure where an egg is fertilized by sperm outside the body and then implanted in the uterus.

Advancements in Technology

Improved lab techniques and equipment have increased success rates and safety.

Genetic Screening

Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD) and Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT) allow for the detection of genetic disorders before implantation.

Fertility Preservation

Techniques such as egg and embryo freezing enable individuals to preserve fertility for future use.

Stem Cell Research

Investigating the potential of stem cells to create viable eggs or sperm for those with infertility issues.

Lifestyle and IVF

Studies on how lifestyle factors (diet, stress, exercise) impact IVF success rates.

Ethical Considerations

Ongoing debates about the ethical implications of IVF, including embryo selection and genetic modification.
