In January 1979, Robert Edwards and Patrick Steptoe delivered a lecture detailing the ten-year clinical and scientific research programme that led to the birth of Louise Brown, the first baby born utilising IVF. This thoroughly-researched book provides both a full annotated transcript of the lecture as well as recorded reminiscences from those who attended, detailing the contemporary understandings of the event. An essay on the lecture's historical context adds fresh insight into the biographies of Edwards and Steptoe and highlights sources from print and broadcast media that have received scant attention in earlier publications. Current and future implications of the advances in IVF since the first procedure are also explored, examining future medical and scientific possibilities as well as ethical issues that may arise.

A great fascination for biologists, the study of embryo development provides indispensable information concerning the origins of the various forms and structures that make up an organism, and our ever-increasing knowledge gained through the study of plant embryology promises to lead to the development of numerous useful applications. In Plant Embryo Culture: Methods and Protocols, expert researchers from the field provide a ready source of information for culturing zygotic embryos for different types of studies, both theoretical and practical. The book’s main sections examine a wide range of related topics, including the culture of zygotic embryos for developmental studies, the application of embryo culture techniques focusing on embryo rescue methods, cryopreservation of zygotic embryos, the use of zygotic embryos as explants for somatic embryogenesis and organogenesis, as well as transformation protocols using zygotic embryos as starting material. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology™ series format, the detailed chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and vital notes on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. Authoritative and convenient, Plant Embryo Culture: Methods and Protocols serves as a key reference that can be used by scientists of all backgrounds to help develop their own customized methods for many different species and for a variety of purposes.

An ideal reference for infertility specialists and reproductive endocrinologists alike, this comprehensive text discusses current natural and mild approaches to in vitro fertilization (IVF) and the development of in vitro maturation (IVM) as a clinical treatment. It is divided thematically into four sections. Part I presents the basic science of ovarian endocrinology and the mechanism of oocyte maturation, including follicular development and the importance of mitochondrial changes. The differences between natural cycle IVF and stimulated IVF are presented in part II, including the standard ovarian stimulation protocols and their outcomes and the etiology, prevention and management of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS). Minimal and mild stimulation for IVF is discussed in part III, including mild stimulation protocols for oncofertility patients and the new minimally invasive INVO procedure. In vitro maturation as a clinical treatment is the subject of part IV, discussing the methodology of immature oocyte retrieval as well as other laboratory aspects and congenital and obstetrical outcomes of babies born from IVM. Combining expertise from thought leaders around the world, Development of In Vitro Maturation for Human Oocytes will be a go-to resource for infertility researchers and practitioners and reproductive endocrinologists working with infertile couples looking for safer and more cost-effective options for treatment.

In vitro fertilisatie (IVF)-reageerbuisbevruchting - riep in de jaren 80 veel emoties op. De pers bracht het beeld van wanhopige vrouwen die maar niet zwanger konden raken. De betrokken artsen presenteerden deze techniek als de oplossing voor de onvervulde kinderwens. Het toenmalige ministerie van WVC wist zich geen raad met IVF en liet de ontwikkelingen op hun beloop. De politieke partijen durfden geen duidelijk standpunt in te nemen. De vrouwenbeweging bediscussieerde of door IVF de autonomie van vrouwen bij de voortplanting wel groter werd. Intussen werd IVF op steeds groter schaal toegepast. Draagmoederschap, het gebruik van IVF door alleenstaande en lesbische vrouwen, eiceldonaties en embryoonderzoek, de kranten stonden er vol mee. In de commotie verdwenen de belangrijke vragen naar de effectiviteit en veiligheid van deze techniek naar de achtergrond. Noch de politiek noch de nationale overheid hield voldoende rekening met de belangrijke vragen van de vrouwenbeweging inzake voortplantingstechnieken. Besluiten werden genomen op basis van vooronderstellingen die ook nu nog niet hard zijn gemaakt. Dertien jaar na de geboorte van de eerste Nederlandse 'ivf-baby' is de veiligheid van ivf nog steeds niet degelijk onderzocht. Toch worden er steeds nieuwe, verdergaande bevruchtingstechnieken behandeld voor de onvruchtbaarheid van hun mannen.
