First 30 hours, key to knowing whether a human embryo will be chromosomally normal

Embryo

Prof. Carlos Simon, Scientific Director at Igenomix, is one of the researchers taking part in this study. Scientists from Igenomix, University of Valencia, Stanford University and Oregon Health & Science University (OSHU) have discovered that it is possible to predict if a human embryo is going to be chromosomally normal or abnormal within the first […]

MitoScore: Mitochondrial biomarker developed by Igenomix will increase implantation rate of in vitro fertilization

MitoScore: Mitochondrial biomarker developed by Igenomix will increase implantation rate of in vitro fertilization

One of the great challenges of in vitro fertilization techniques is to be able to guarantee the viability of the transferred embryos to be implanted into the maternal uterus and be able to give birth to a healthy baby. Taking into account that the mitochondria are responsible for providing most of the energy necessary for […]
