Histone lysine crotonylation, an evolutionarily conserved modification differing from acetylation, exerts pivotal control over diverse biological processes. Among these are gene transcriptional regulation, spermatogenesis, and cell cycle processes. However, the dynamic changes and functions of histone crotonylation in preimplantation embryonic development in mammals remain unclear.

- Women with low ovarian reserve face a critical decision between natural and mildly stimulated IVF cycles, as the best option for embryo quality and pregnancy outcomes remains uncertain.
- A study compared pregnancy rates and embryo quality between 478 natural cycles and 448 mildly stimulated cycles, finding that natural cycles had a significantly higher pregnancy rate (51.8% vs. 40.1%).
- Natural cycles also yielded better embryo outcomes, including more available embryos (84.1% vs. 78.6%) and higher-quality embryos (61.8% vs. 53.2%), suggesting they may be a preferable option for these patients.
