In a retrospective analysis of 623 clinical pregnancies conceived after IVF, a 5.4% ectopic pregnancy rate (14/258 clinical pregnancies) was found in cases where assisted hatching (AH) was performed compared to 2.2% (8/365) in the group without assisted hatching. In view of the widespread use of AH, it may be relevant to assess the effect of AH on the incidence of ectopic pregnancy in a large multicenter effort.

The trophectoderm (TE) is the first tissue to differentiate during the preimplantation development of the mammalian embryo. It forms the outer layer of the blastocyst and is responsible for generating the blastocoel, a fluid-filled cavity whose expansion is essential for successful hatching and implantation. Here, we investigated the role of the small GTPase RHOA in the morphogenesis of the TE, particularly its relationship with HIPPO signaling, using mouse embryos as a model.
