Implantation and Early Development (eBook)

Successful implantation and early development need a union of healthy genes and an optimal uterine environment. The 48th RCOG Study Group, an international multidisciplinary expert forum, considered factors involved in preparation for implantation within the uterus, how to determine a good egg and good sperm, lessons from animal models, transgenic and genomic technologies, sporadic and recurrent early pregnancy loss, single-embryo transfer, and the developmental consequences of assisted reproduction technologies. This book presents the findings of the Study Group, with sections covering:
preparation for implantation—the uterine environmentthe embryolessons from animal models (transgenics) and novel technologiesclinical sequelae.
