IVF embryos may thrive when grown with less oxygen
Lowering the oxygen levels that embryos are exposed to during IVF improves fetal and placental development, according to a study in mice.
AI Summary
A study in mice found that culturing IVF embryos in lower oxygen concentrations improves fetal and placental development. Researchers suggest the reduced oxygen levels more closely resemble the natural environment of the reproductive tract. The findings are described as a “landmark paper that we will cite for decades to come” by Amy Sparks of the University of Iowa, who was not involved in the research.
