The study “Signs of self-repair of embryos in the IVF laboratory”, awarded by the SEGO
The study “Signs of self-repair of embryos in the IVF laboratory“, recently presented by Dr Borja Marquès as a communication in the 36th Congress of the Spanish Society of Gynaecology and Obstetrics (SEGO), has won the prize in its category. This work proposes changing the criteria for determining whether embryos are suitable for transfer to the womb in In Vitro Fertilisation treatments.
Embryo cells work as a team to repair themselves
The study’s findings suggest that embryos possess a previously unknown self-correcting mechanism. According to this work, embryos that have undergone reverse cleavage (disappearance of some of their cells) or multinucleation (presence of two or more nuclei in some of their cells) can give rise to a normal pregnancy and the birth of a healthy baby.
Thanks to the incubators with time-lapse cameras (Embryoscope), in the laboratories of Institut Marquès it has been possible to capture images of embryos with reverse cleavage reabsorbing their own cells and of multinucleated embryos expelling the abnormal cells on the 4th or 5th day of life. To achieve this, the development of more than 20,000 embryos was analysed, from fertilisation until they reached the blastocyst stage.
