The pitfalls of PGT-A and scoring of mosaic embryos

Preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidies (PGT-A) or formerly known as preimplantation genetic screening (PGS), is genetic testing for numerical (aneuploidy) and structural chromosomal aberrations in IVF-embryos. Most aneuploidies including several structural chromosomal aberrations are not compatible with

Gamete activation: what else?

Fertilization is the complex and unique process that marks the creation of a new individual. Mutual activation of gametes is a crucial event during fertilization where the two metabolically quiescent cells, upon a reciprocal signal, undergo structural
