Essential IVF : Basic Research and Clinical Applications

The intent of Essential IVF is to present current issues in clinical IVF that
encompass the varied activities of those engaged in this field. By integrating
clinical, basic research and laboratory-related aspects of human reproduction,
readers with diverse interests should obtain a more complete understanding of
the impact, importance and relevance of each in the progress of infertility
treatment and an appreciation of whether emerging technologies will or should
contribute to this progress in the near future. The topics selected for this
volume include research that has begun to explain the origins of different
follicular, gamete, embryo and uterine competence as well as specific
laboratory procedures and protocols that may have important clinical
implications for the generation of developmentally viable embryos.
Comprehensive reviews and discussions of past and contemporary studies in
clinically-oriented chapters provide a biological and outcome-based context in
which current practices and protocols in human IVF may need to be reconsidered.
