Stress, age (increasingly late) and poor genetic disposition are some of the reasons that prevent a good pregnancy. In the field of human fertility, science is vigorously pursuing new methods to ensure success. Latest scientific advances Thousands of researchers around the world are struggling to find new techniques for assisted reproduction. Among the most promising recent developments, we highlight the following: 1) Creation of functional spermatozoa from stem cells One of every three couples worldwide having problems conceiving due to male infertility . For this reason, much research has focused on trying to improve this problem. Recently in China, in Nanjing Medical University, have succeeded in creating in the laboratory functional sperm cells from stem cells, he announced the journal Cell Stem Cell . This natural process failed solved meiosis , without which male fertility is zero. In the future this could be a good help also for women, since the creation of eggs is already being experimented with this same technique. 2) Technique to know the improved embryo viability Until now, we had to wait 5 days to know if an embryo was in perfect condition and it was feasible or not to transplant it to the mother and beget. This technique of assisted reproduction, consisting of an analysis of their chromosomes , however, endangering the embryo itself, without having to be so long freezing. Now they have improved this technique, known as CGH , allowing only determine the results in 1 to 2 days . This would avoid the necessary embryo freezing, which would also imply a greater possibility of success and would only need to transplant to the mother the one that was in perfect condition.
