Objective: Evaluate the outcome of cryotransfer of embryos developed from vitrified oocytes.
Design: Retrospective cohort study.
Setting: Private university-affiliated IVF center.
Patient(s): Women undergoing warming cycles in which vitrified embryos were developed from vitrified or fresh oocytes.
Intervention(s): Vitrification by the Cryotop open device.
Main Outcome Measure(s): Delivery rate (DR) per warming cycle.
Result(s): A total of 471 warming cycles of 796 vitrified embryos developed from vitrified oocytes (group 1) and 2,629 warming cycles of 4,394 vitrified embryos derived from fresh oocytes (group 2) were evaluated. Overall survival rates were 97.2% [95% confidence interval [CI] 95.9%-98.6%] vs. 95.7% [95% CI 94.9-96.4], respectively. DRs per warming cycle were 33.8% (group 1) and 30.9% (group 2). Double vitrification had no effect on DR (odds ratio [OR] 0.877, 95% CI 0.712-1.080). Confounding factors (ovum donation or autologous cycles; day-3 or blastocyst embryo transfer [ET]; natural or hormonal replacement therapy for ET; single or double ET; previous cycles, number of oocytes, doses of gonadotropins and E2 levels on the day of hCG) did not modify the effect of double vitrification on DR (OR 0.872, 95% CI 0.702-1.084).
Conclusion(s): Vitrification at early cleavage or blastocyst stage of embryos obtained from previously vitrified oocytes has no effect on DR/warming cycle.

Non-canonical imprinting, manifesting as post-fertilization placenta-specific parent-of-origin dependent methylation, is not conserved in humans.

Genomic imprinting is the parent-of-origin dependent monoallelic expression of genes often associated with regions of germline-derived DNA methylation that are maintained as differentially methylated regions (gDMRs) in somatic tissues. This form of epigenetic regulation is highly conserved in mammals and is thought to have co-evolved with placentation. Tissue-specific gDMRs have been identified in human placenta, suggesting that species-specific imprinting dependent on unorthodox epigenetic establishment or maintenance may be more widespread than previously anticipated.

Background: Preimplantation embryos in vivo are exposed to various growth factors in the female reproductive tract that are absent in in vitro embryo culture media. Cell-free fat extract exerts antioxidant, anti-ageing, and ovarian function-promoting effects. However, its effects on embryo quality are yet to be investigated.

Background: The success of in vitro fertilization (IVF)/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) in endometriosis patients varies widely, and predicting the likelihood of achieving a live birth remains a clinical challenge. This study aims to develop a predictive nomogram for assessing the cumulative live birth (CLB) rate following IVF/ICSI cycles among patients with endometriosis.
Method: A retrospective cohort study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 1457 patients with endometriosis after IVF/ICSI treatment from January 2017 to August 2022.

Neonatal health is dependent on early risk stratification, diagnosis, and timely management of potentially devastating conditions, particularly in the setting of prematurity. Many of these conditions are poorly predicted in real-time by clinical data and current diagnostics. Umbilical cord blood may represent a novel source of molecular signatures that provides a window into the state of the fetus at birth.

Zoologists have adduced morphological convergence among embryonic stages of closely related taxa, which has been called the phylotypic stage of embryogenesis. Transcriptomic analyzes reveal an hourglass pattern of gene expression during plant and animal embryogenesis, characterized by the accumulation of evolutionarily older and conserved transcripts during mid-embryogenesis, whereas younger less-conserved transcripts predominate at earlier and later embryonic stages. In contrast, comparisons of embryonic gene expression among different animal phyla describe an inverse hourglass pattern, where expression is correlated during early and late stages but not during mid-embryo development.
