- The study investigates improving embryo culture conditions in assisted reproduction by using mesenchymal stem/stromal cells from menstrual blood (mbMSCs) in a coculture model with mouse embryos.
- Results showed that embryos cocultured with mbMSCs had significantly higher rates of developing into the blastocyst stage (69.8%) compared to control embryos (30%), indicating enhanced growth and development.
- This novel approach offers a simple and noninvasive method that could potentially improve outcomes in assisted reproduction by enriching the embryonic microenvironment.
Objective: This study aimed to assess the efficiency, in terms of recovered motile spermatozoa with normal morphology, of three sperm selection techniques: migration- sedimentation (SS), swim-up from fresh semen (SF), and swim-up from washed (SL) sperm.
Methods: Samples from 20 normozoospermic men were divided into three equal aliquots and processed in parallel. SS was performed in a Jondet tube, using 1 ml of semen and 2.
Hostein cows (n=141) in five commercial dairy herds in central New York were examined for endometritis by examination of endometrial aspirates for presence of inflammatory cells, principally neutrophils, by endometrial cytology at 40-60 days postpartum. The prevalence of cytologically-diagnosed endometritis was 53%; within herds the prevalence varied from 37 to 74% (P=0.02).
