Maintenance of the Inner Cell Mass in Human Blastocysts from Fragmented Embryos
1 Apr 2003
Abstract excerpt
The degree of fragmentation during early cleavage is universally used as an indicator of embryo quality during human in vitro fertilization treatment. Extensive fragmentation has been associated with reduced blastocyst formation and implantation. We examined the relationship between early fragmentation and subsequent allocation of cells to the trophectoderm and inner cell mass in the human blastocyst. We...
