First study of children born after in vitro maturation indicates the technique is safe
Children born after female eggs were matured in the laboratory are healthy, according to the first survey of babies born using this technique. Since 1997 doctors at the Fertility Clinic in Herlev, Denmark, have been helping women to have babies using a technique called in vitro maturation. This involves taking immature oocytes (eggs) from the... view more... (2003-06-27)
Standard treatment more effective than diabetes drug for achieving pregnancy in fertility disorder
Metformin, a drug used to treat diabetes and thought to hold great promise at overcoming the infertility associated with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), is less useful for helping women with the condition achieve pregnancy than is the standard treatment with the infertility drug clomiphene, report researchers in an NIH research network. view more (2007-02-08)
Identifying the metabolism of a healthy embryo could improve infertility treatment
Embryos that are most likely to result in a pregnancy are crucial to the success of in vitro fertilization (IVF) but are difficult to identify. Researchers at Yale School of Medicine, led by Emre Seli, M.D., are developing a fast, non-invasive test to help assess embryo viability for IVF. view more (2009-10-21)
Program to freeze women's ovaries to preserve fertility after cancer
The Center for Reproductive Research at Northwestern University is launching a new, experimental research program for young women who may be at risk to lose their ovarian function and fertility following treatment for cancer. view more (2006-11-30)
Accelerated evolution converts RNA enzyme to DNA enzyme in vitro
This 'evolutionary conversion' provides a modern-day snapshot of how life as we understand it may have first evolved out of the earliest primordial mix of RNA-like molecules-sometimes referred to as the "pre-RNA world"-into a more complex form of RNA-based life (or the "RNA world") and eventually to cellular life based on DNA... view more...

Cancer cells lose drug resistance following electrical stimulation in vitro
Drug-resistant tumour cells lose their drug resistance when exposed to low intensity, low frequency electric pulses for three days. view more (2006-03-17)
Oxford Improves Production Method for Interfering RNA
Researchers at Oxford University's Department of Biochemistry have developed methods for making RNA duplexes and single-stranded RNAs of desired length and sequence. This exciting technology is most applicable to commercial RNA providers and companies with large in-house requirements for RNA molecules as it will greatly increase... view more... (2003-04-29)
Study examines ethical dilemmas of medical tourism
Medical tourism in Latin America needs to be regulated to protect consumers, according to Université de Montréal researchers. view more (2009-10-08)
Horse antibodies against the bird flu virus H5N1 are effective as treatment in mice
Antibodies against the bird flu virus H5N1, derived from horses, prevent mice infected with H5N1 from dying from the virus. view more (2006-03-28)
In vitro antibody production enables HIV infection detection in window period -- key to safer blood
Researchers in Israel and Kenya have shown that the contribution of variable degrees of immune suppression, either due to existing chronic infections such as parasitemias and/or nutrition, in different populations may influence and prolong the serological-diagnostic window period of HIV. view more (2009-07-27)
Durable critters providing insight for human egg preservation
A tiny, six-legged critter that suspends all biological activity when the going gets tough may hold answers to a better way to cryopreserve human eggs, researchers say. view more (2006-12-19)
Illinois Soil Nitrogen Test Measures Microbial Nitrogen
Contrary to the prevailing view, cereal crops derive the majority of their nitrogen from the soil, not fertilizer. view more (2009-05-12)
Protein found to control tumor growth in certain breast cancers
This protein was previously thought to play a role solely in the innate immune system's response to bacterial infection. view more (2006-02-01)
Embryos tell story of Earth's earliest animals
Much of what scientists learn about the evolution of Earth's first animals will have to be gleaned from spherical embryos fossilized under very specific conditions. view more (2006-03-30)
Fertility procedures need not delay breast cancer treatment for younger women
A new study published in the November issue of the Journal of the American College of Surgeons shows that breast cancer patients under 40 years old who undergo fertility preservation do not face a significant delay in the treatment of their disease when their care is coordinated in a timely fashion. view more (2009-11-13)
Cloned stem cells prove identical to fertilized stem cells
Scientists generally agree that all cloned animals are biologically flawed. But they don't agree about what that means for stem cells derived from cloned embryos, the basis for therapeutic cloning. view more (2006-01-17)
Scientists prove that disputed Korean stem cell line comes from an unfertilized egg and not cloning
Can a genetic signature identify the origin of a human stem cell line? Scientists report that a widely available method for comprehensive genetic analysis can help distinguish the type of human embryo that stem cells come from. view more (2007-08-03)
SARS: No evidence that any of the treatments worked
The SARS virus set alarm bells ringing across the world when it first appeared in 2002, but now a review of the effectiveness of the treatments used against it has found no evidence that any of them worked. view more (2006-09-12)
Good news and bad for dad this Father's Day
It was long believed that conception does not involve a meeting of equals. The egg is a relatively large, impressive biological factory compared with the tiny sperm, which delivers to the egg one copy of the father's genes. view more (2009-06-15)
Clues to gene expression in cystic fibrosis will guide research
Genetics tests could help provide cystic fibrosis (CF) patients with targeted treatment in future, pilot study authors suggest. Results from a French clinical trial published today in BMC Medicine show how a small percentage of CF sufferers with a rare genetic stop mutation responded positively to gentamicin treatment. view more (2007-03-29)
