Sumario:Assisted reproductive technology (ART) has been recognized for its success in treating infertility, a condition that affects 15 percent of couples in the United States. The most popular option is in vitro fertilization (IVF), which relies on embryo culture, selection, and transfer for implantation, with the ultimate aim of pregnancy. Previous embryo selection methods relied on morphological factors to select for greatest viability. At Yale’s Frontiers in Reproduction Conference on April 29, 2011, at the New Haven Lawn Club, Dr. Denny Sakkas of Yale’s Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology, and Reproductive Sciences presented a paradigm shift: using morphological factors along with metabolic, protein, and genetic markers in culture media to enhance embryo selection and IVF success rates.
