Use eggs, not embryos, to derive stem cells, say researchers
Concerns about the ethics of using embryos created to treat infertile couples for stem cell research is discussed by researchers at St Mary's Hospital, Manchester in this week's BMJ. Although the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Act 1990 allows the creation of embryos for research in the United Kingdom, the House of Lords Select Committee on... view more... (2003-10-08)
Researchers report technique for freezing and preserving genetically enhanced pig embryos
Researchers led by a University of Missouri-Columbia professor of reproductive biotechnology have reported success in freezing and preserving swine embryos that were created by in vitro techniques and that carried modified genetic material. view more (2006-05-04)
Microbiotic technology developed for microinjection of zebrafish embryos
Funded by an NSERC Idea to Innovations grant and an Ontario Early Researcher Award, Prof. Yu Sun's group, the Advanced Micro and Nanosystems Laboratory (http://amnl.mie.utoronto.ca) at the University of Toronto (U of T) recently developed a microrobotic technology for automated microinjection of zebrafish embryos. view more (2007-09-12)
Choosing healthy embryos in IVF
A revolutionary method for detecting which human embryos are most likely to develop successfully to the stage at which they implant in the womb has been developed by scientists at the University of York and clinicians at Leeds General Infirmary. The research has been funded by the Medical Research Council. The discovery, if confirmed in clinical... view more... (2002-05-07)
The Opinion Group of the Observatory on Bioethics and Law of the Barcelona Science Park does not rule out research on embryos fertilised in vitro
On the 21st September at 12:00 noon the Document on Research on Human Embryos was officially presented to Barcelona City Hall at a meeting presided over by Vladimir de Semir, from the Barcelona City Hall, in the presence of the Assistant Vice President of the Barcelona Science Park, Marius Rubiralta. During the presentation, the Director of the... view more... (2000-09-26)
Study: Donated embryos could result in more than 2,000 new embryonic stem cell lines
In a survey of more than one thousand infertility patients with frozen embryos, 60 percent of patients report that they are likely to donate their embryos to stem cell research. view more (2007-06-21)
Changes in chromosomal constitution of preimplantation embryos suggest caution in genetic screening
Embryos that are selected out as abnormal can undergo chromosomal modifications, a scientist will tell the annual conference of the European Society of Human Genetics today. view more (2007-06-19)
Significant differences in growth of male and female embryos after ICSI
There is a clear difference in growth rate between male and female pre-implantation embryos created by ICSI, but not after IVF, a scientist said today at the 20th annual conference of the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology. Dr John Dumoulin, of the Academic Hospital Maastricht, Maastricht, The Netherlands told... view more... (2004-06-29)
First study to show that when counting frozen as well as fresh embryos, single embryo transfer does not reduce the chances of having a baby
Doctors in Australia have found that transferring one embryo instead of two during an IVF cycle does not reduce the chances of a woman having a baby, when frozen as well as fresh embryos are taken into account. Dr Jim Catt, Embryology director of Sydney IVF, Australia, and his colleagues have conducted the first study looking at cumulative... view more... (2003-06-27)
What to do with leftover embryos in fertility clinics?
The majority of infertility patients are in favor of using left-over embryos for stem cell research and would also support selling left-over embryos to other couples, according to a recent survey. view more (2008-09-25)
More than half of infertile couples may be willing to donate unused embryos to stem cell research
In a survey of over a thousand patients who have created and frozen embryos as part of fertility treatment, 60 percent said they would be likely to donate unused embryos for stem cell research. view more (2007-06-21)
Nuffield Council On Bioethics Concerned About Amendments To EU Directive On Tissues & Cells
The Nuffield Council on Bioethics has written to MEPs expressing concern about proposed amendments to the European Directive on tissues and cells, due to be discussed in the European Parliament next week (15 - 18 December). The proposals could restrict or even ban the creation of embryos for research or tissue transplantation. The Nuffield Council... view more... (2003-12-11)
PGD could save women from the agony of repeated miscarriages
Women who suffer repeated unexplained miscarriages can be helped to have babies if preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) is carried out on their embryos before they are placed in the womb. Ms Carmen Rubio told the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology annual conference in Vienna today (Monday 1 July) that her research showed that... view more... (2002-06-29)
Statement from the European Life Sciences Group
The promises and concerns engendered by stem cell research triggered debate world-wide. European citizens realise the significance of these issues and expect guidance to deal with them. The European Life Sciences Group thanks the European Commission and the European Commissioner for Research, Philippe Busquin, for arranging such a stimulating... view more... (2001-12-19)
'Rhythm method' may kill off more embryos than other methods of contraception
The "rhythm method" may kill off more embryos than other contraceptive methods, such as coils, morning after pills, and oral contraceptives, suggests an article in the Journal of Medical Ethics. view more (2006-05-25)
Largest study of fertility patients shows concerns about embryo disposition
Fertility patients who are done having children feel responsible for the stored, frozen embryos left over from their treatment, yet more than half are against implanting the embryos in anyone else, according to a new study by researchers at Duke University Medical Center. view more (2008-12-04)
Procedure predicts embryos most likely to result in pregnancy
To address the high rate of multiple births resulting from in-vitro-fertilization (IVF), researchers at Yale School of Medicine and McGill University have developed a procedure that estimates the reproductive potential of individual embryos, possibly leading to a decrease in multiple-infant births and a higher success rate in women undergoing IVF. view more (2007-03-19)
European experts slam new Italian fertility proposals: "Disaster for women" says ESHRE chairman
Vienna, Austria: Fertility experts meeting in Vienna today (Saturday 29 June) attacked proposals by the Lower House of the Italian Parliament that could encourage multiple pregnancies.
