Cryopreserved embryos: Does biobank storage time affect their subsequent viability?

It has been almost 30 years since the first pregnancy from cryopreserved embryos was achieved (Trounson and Mohr, 1983). Ever since then, numbers have been steadily growing at biobanks in assisted reproduction centres, mainly due […]

When will my embryos be biopsied? Why?

When will my embryos be biopsied? Why?

During the performance of assisted reproduction procedures, the best embryo is selected for transfer into the mother’s uterus. The selection is based on the “look” of the embryo shortly before transfer. As a matter of […]

Comprehensive Chromosomal Screening (PGS/PGT-A/CCS): More reliable and less damaging for embryos

Comprehensive Chromosomal Screening (PGS/PGT-A/CCS): More reliable and less damaging for embryos

The necessary information for an adequate development of human beings is contained in some “books” called genes; they are written in an “ink” called DNA. Our total number of genes is found in the 46 […]

Usefulness of Comprehensive Chromosomal Screening (PGS/PGT-A/CCS) in Recurrent Miscarriages

When couples make the decision to have a baby, either by natural means or by resorting to assisted reproduction techniques (ART), one of their main concerns is having a full-term pregnancy and a healthy baby. […]

PGD, PGS, CCS and PGT-A: are they all one and the same?

PGD, PGS, CCS and PGT-A: are they all one and the same?

PGD or pre-implantation genetic diagnosis consists of a set of techniques used on the embryo prior to transfer to the mother’s uterus with the aim of studying any possible chromosomal and/or genetic abnormalities. Its purpose is to ensure that […]
