Hosszú leírás:

This book sheds new light on assisted reproductive technology (ART), providing readers with the latest research and evidence-based practices in this dynamic field. At its core, it addresses critical questions about fertility treatments and their future prospects.

The chapters cover topics such as controlled ovarian stimulation, gamete development, fertilization mechanisms, embryo development, freezing and thawing techniques, implantation processes, preimplantation genetic testing (PGT), and advanced treatments like mitochondrial transfer and uterine transplantation. Readers will find contributions by renowned scholars who delve into these subjects with expert analysis and practical insights.

Designed for physicians involved in ART as well as embryologists, nurses, coordinators, and counselors closely engaged in reproductive medicine, this book offers a comprehensive overview of current evidence-based front-line ART topics. It is an essential resource for understanding both historical advancements and future directions in reproductive technology.
