Health outcomes of children born after IVF/ICSI: a review of current expert opinion and literature. by Fauser, B, Devroey, P, Diedrich, K, Balaban, B, Bonduelle, M, Delemarre-van de Waal, H, Estella, C, Ezcurra, D, Geraedts, J, Howles, C, Lerner-Geva, L, Serna, J, Wells, D

“…Epidemiologists, reproductive endocrinologists, embryologists and geneticists presented data from published literature and ongoing research on the incidence of genetic and epigenetic abnormalities and congenital malformations in assisted-conception versus naturally conceived children to reach a consensus on the reasons for potential differences in outcomes between these two groups. …”

Does smooth endoplasmic reticulum aggregation in oocytes impact the chromosome aneuploidy of the subsequent embryos? A propensity score matching study by Meng Wang, Limin Gao, Qiyu Yang, Rui Long, Yini Zhang, Lei Jin, Lixia Zhu

ZEB2, the Mowat-Wilson Syndrome Transcription Factor: Confirmations, Novel Functions, and Continuing Surprises by Judith C. Birkhoff, Danny Huylebroeck, Andrea Conidi

“…After its publication in 1999 as a DNA-binding and SMAD-binding transcription factor (TF) that co-determines cell fate in amphibian embryos, ZEB2 was from 2003 studied by embryologists mainly by documenting the consequences of conditional, cell-type specific <i>Zeb2</i> knockout (cKO) in mice. …”

Incidence, dynamics and recurrences of reverse cleavage in aneuploid, mosaic and euploid blastocysts, and its relationship with embryo quality by Lei Jin, Xiyuan Dong, Wei Tan, Bo Huang

“…This is important for clinicians and embryologists. In this study, we used TL to observe whether there was a phenomenon of RC in each biopsy embryo and then combined it with the ploidy state to give an answer, which provided support for the selection strategy of RC embryos. …”

PECULIARITIES OF DEVELOPMENT OF THE HUMAN FACIAL REGION OF SKULL by О. Цигикало, І. Попова, Р. Дмитренко, Н. Кузняк, В. Гончаренко

“…Elucidation of the peculiarities of the morphogenesis of the structures of the human maxillofacial region does not lose its relevance among scientists-anatomists, embryologists, maxillofacial and pediatric surgeons, which is explained by a rather large congenital pathology of the structures of the human face, which rank third among all congenital malformations (CMF). …”
