There are numerous reports on embryo culture media and conditions in the laboratory, as the subject is multifaceted and complex, reflecting the variation in practice. In this scoping review, we attempt to approach the topic of culture media and conditions from the practitioners' perspective aiming to highlight, in a comprehensive fashion, important aspects regarding the options available, introduce points of debate and controversy, while maintaining the viewpoint of the practicing embryologist's concerns.

Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD(H)) and its metabolites function as crucial regulators of physiological processes, allowing cells to adapt to environmental changes such as nutritional deficiencies, genotoxic factors, disruptions in circadian rhythms, infections, inflammation, and exogenous substances. Here, we investigated whether elevated NAD(H) levels in oocytes enhance their quality and improve developmental competence following in vitro fertilization (IVF). Bovine cumulus-oocyte complexes (COCs) were matured in a culture medium supplemented with 0-100 μM nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN), a precursor of NAD(H).

Protein kinase R (PKR) is an interferon-induced antiviral protein activated by autophosphorylation in response to double strand DNA (dsRNA) and other stimuli. Activated PKR causes translation inhibition and apoptosis, and it contributes to proinflammatory responses, cell growth, and differentiation. Mouse adenovirus type 1 (MAV-1) counteracts PKR by causing its degradation via a viral protein, early region 4 open reading frame 6 (E4orf6).

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to prepare antioxidant-capable mesenchymal stem cells (AO-MSC) from human umbilical cords and assess their biological properties.
- The AO-MSC were isolated using a method that involved allowing tissue debris to adhere to the culture surface, while control cells were obtained through traditional collagenase digestion.
- Results demonstrated that AO-MSC displayed higher levels of antioxidant substances and good self-renewal ability, but had a weaker capacity for adipogenic and osteogenic differentiation compared to conventional MSC.

Purpose: Selection of optimal embryo transfer strategies for IVF patients treated with antagonist protocols.
Methods: A retrospective study was conducted to assess whether whole embryo culture to the blastocyst stage could enhance the cumulative live birth rate (CLBR). The study included data from the first oocyte retrieval cycle of 4131 patients who underwent IVF treatment between January 2018 and June 2022.
