Excerpt

If only we knew what Mother Nature’s defining secrets were for those gametes endowed with healthy baby-making properties! As the search for reliable biomarkers of gamete and embryo quality continues unabated, there is no escaping the fact that many patients never reach embryo transfer for any of a number of factors. Whether under the watchful eye of the embryologist, or discretionary algorithms sifting through a time lapse sequence, or the dreaded “aneuploidy” verdict after PGS, many of the embryos rejected as a result of our current assessment methods acquire their ultimate fate for any number of poorly understood reasons. …
