First time in vitro maturation of oocytes from human primordial follicles
Currently, couples going through In vitro fertilisation (IVF) require the treatment of women with hormones for ovarian stimulation in order to stimulate simultaneously growth of several follicles and to maximize a large number of oocytes available IVF. However, this treatment can have several side-effects and it is not suitable for every woman. This is especially true for women sensitive to the stimulation hormones and women suffering from cancer. Moreover, women who survived cancer usually suffer Read more…
