What are microRNA and what impact do they have on embryo implantation?
From the moment embryo transfer takes place up until the day when a woman takes a pregnancy test, a set of events aimed at achieving implantation (adherence of the embryo to the uterus) take place in the uterus […]
What is exome genetic testing? Types of exome genetic tests
The human genome is composed of 20,000 genes. Genes contain information for synthesising all the proteins in our bodies and these proteins carry out various biological functions. The information is contained in regions called exons and they […]
Do ibuprofen and paracetamol affect fertility?
