The frequency of triplet gestation is low in humans, estimated at 1:6400 deliveries. Monochorionic gestations represent a subpopulation of approximately 10% of these triplet pregnancies. Hypertensive complications are known to occur with greater frequency in the context of multiple gestation. In this report we describe microscopic placental changes associated with pre-eclampsia and proteinuria in the setting of an uncommon monochorionic-triamniotic triplet pregnancy achieved via in vitro fertilization. Histologic features observed in this case include placental stromal fibrosis and increased syncytial nodularity (Tenney-Parker change). In this triplet delivery resulting from two consecutive fissions of a single embryo, chorion and amnion configuration are also characterized with a review of the literature discussing the potential relationship between in vitro culture conditions and monozygotic multiple gestation.

Challenges in cellular agriculture: lessons from Pacific white shrimp, Litopenaeus vannamei.

In Vitro Cell Dev Biol Anim

Marine Immunology Program, Mote Marine Laboratory, 1600 Ken Thompson Parkway, Sarasota, FL, 34236, USA.

The overall goal of this research was to develop an embryonic stem cell (ESC) line from the Pacific white shrimp, Litopenaeus vannamei, to support production of cell-based cultivated seafood products towards meeting a growing global demand for sustainable seafood. It was hypothesized that characteristics of ESCs, such as high proliferation and pluripotency, would facilitate development of a continuous cell line that could be triggered to differentiate into a muscle cell phenotype. The targeted approach was based on collection of ESCs from fertilized shrimp eggs at the blastomere stage.

Background: The following case report details the genetic evaluation and treatment of a 30-year-old male with a history of asthenoteratospermia and notable abnormalities of the sperm flagella.

Methods: Genetic evaluation was performed via a multi-gene panel of genes associated with primary ciliary dyskinesia and multiple morphological abnormalities of the sperm flagella (MMAF) prior to the couple's in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycle.

Results: Genetic evaluation was performed via a multi-gene panel of genes associated with primary ciliary dyskinesia and multiple morphological abnormalities of the sperm flagella (MMAF) prior to the couple's in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycle.

Background: Male infertility (MI) is a polygenic condition mainly induced by spermatogenic failure/arrest or systemic disease with a large clinical spectrum. Lately, genetic sequencing allowed the identification of several variants implicated in both aforesaid situations.

Methods And Results: In this case study, we performed whole exome sequencing (WES) on the genomic DNA of a 37-year-old Moroccan man with Non-Obstructive Azoospermia.

An increasing number of patients utilizing in vitro fertilization (IVF) and assisted reproductive technology (ART) are characterized as impaired or poor ovarian responders (PORs). Owing to its unclear molecular etiology, the management of patients with age-related ovarian characteristics remains a controversial and complex clinical concern. Therefore, it is important to identify and understand the etiological causes behind POR to develop more effective and efficient management strategies for these patients.
