An excellent article highlighting the influences and constraints of this real problem. The dilemma may come down to the decision being that of the patient/client and not the embryologist. If a 40 year old women has a choice of implanting only 3BB embryos from her cycle, as things stand, she will probably say yes to a transfer. The challenge we have is to get better non-invasive tools to evaluate each embryo’s probability of implantation and of not aborting, more accurately, to give informed choice. This will also give rise to more flexibility on the number of embryo/blastocysts being transferred and not blunt policies on Single embryo transfers. Indeed a 40 year old women with three embryos with only a <10% probability of implantation each, may warrant dual or greater transfer! #IVF #Reproductivemedicine

AI meets with Timelapse in Embryology

🔬💡 Revolutionary Insight in Embryology! The Institut Curie has unveiled a game-changing discovery that reshapes our understanding of early human development. Contrary to prior beliefs, embryonic cell compaction is driven by cell contraction, not merely adhesion. This pivotal finding could significantly enhance the success rates of assisted reproductive technologies (ART), where currently about one-third of procedures do not succeed. This breakthrough not only deepens our understanding of human biology but also holds the potential to dramatically improve outcomes for those relying on ART. Let's embrace the new frontier in reproductive science! #Embryology #Innovation #HealthcareTechnology

Hey prospective Genetic Counseling Students! Looking for an online Embryology Course? We still have spots available for the Fall! The Embryology course is offered by Boise State Online. The course is GENCOUN 320 - Intro to Clinic Embryology. The course description states: "Introduction to the concepts of human embryology and anatomical development, underlying genetic etiologies of normal and abnormal development. Body systems and the normal development of the human embryo at different stages, including gametogenesis, fertilization, implantation, gastrulation, and neurulation will be covered, along with associations with embryological structure and the significance of normal and abnormal development. Application of related clinical abnormal indications to underlying genetic and biological mechanisms." It is an online, asynchronous, 2 credit course that will satisfy our program's Embryology prerequisite. Each credit is $399 for Idaho residents and $830 for non-residents. There is an additional $60 Course fee. You will receive an official transcript from Boise State on completion of the course. It will be taught during the 1st 7-week session of the Fall. Beginning in 2025, it will also be offered in the Summer. If you are not already a Boise State student, you would need to apply to Boise State (you can apply as an Adult Learner / Non-degree Seeking student). Once you have been admitted to Boise State and have your Student ID/Boise State Email address, you can log into your Student Center. From there you can search for the course and enroll - based on your Enrollment Appointment.

"𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐌𝐢𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐥𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐆𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: 𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐂𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐬 𝐃𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐅𝐚𝐭𝐞" The miracle of life begins with the union of a sperm and an egg, forming a single cell known as the "𝐳𝐲𝐠𝐨𝐭𝐞". This blastocyst implants in the uterus, connecting to the mother’s blood supply as it differentiates into an embryo. Through gastrulation and organogenesis, it evolves into a complex organism. As days progress, this cluster becomes a "𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐮𝐥𝐚" (🍇), a solid ball of cells. A fluid-filled cavity called the"𝐛𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐜𝐨𝐞𝐥" forms within, leading to a more complex structure. The morula develops into a "𝐛𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐜𝐲𝐬𝐭". Cells differentiate into: - 𝐓𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐡𝐨𝐛𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐭: Will form the placenta. - 𝐈𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐫 𝐂𝐞𝐥𝐥 𝐌𝐚𝐬𝐬 (𝐈𝐂𝐌): Will become the embryo. The blastocyst hatches from the "𝐳𝐨𝐧𝐚 𝐩𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐮𝐜𝐢𝐝𝐚"and prepares for "𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧" into the uterus. Upon reaching the uterus, the blastocyst adheres to the "𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠"(🤰), establishing a connection with the mother's blood supply. The embryo undergoes "𝐠𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧",𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝐠𝐞𝐫𝐦 𝐥𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐫𝐬: - 𝐄𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐦: Nervous system and skin. - 𝐌𝐞𝐬𝐨𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐦: Muscles, bones, circulatory system. - 𝐄𝐧𝐝𝐨𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐦: Internal organs like the liver and lungs. Next stages include "𝐧𝐞𝐮𝐫𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧" (formation of the "neural tube" 🧠) and "𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐚𝐧𝐨𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐬", where organs develop with precision. Meanwhile, the placenta forms, serving as the lifeline (❤️) between mother and child. 𝐓𝐰𝐨 𝐟𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐭 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐲: - 𝐌𝐢𝐭𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐬: Cell proliferation and differentiation. - 𝐌𝐞𝐢𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐬: Formation of gametes, introducing genetic diversity. https://lnkd.in/gpvBAXyu #Embryology #Gastrulation #CellDifferentiation #Neurulation ##Organogenesis - Moore, K.
