in vitro fertilization (IVF) research

In vitro fertilization (IVF) research involves studying and improving the process of combining an egg and sperm outside the human body, then transferring the resulting embryo into the uterus. Researchers explore ways to enhance success rates, understand reproductive biology, and address fertility issues. This includes developing better hormonal treatments, refining embryo culture techniques, and understanding genetic factors. IVF research aims to make treatments more effective, safer, and accessible for individuals and couples facing fertility challenges, ultimately helping more people achieve pregnancy through assisted reproductive technology.
