Abstract

In vitro fertilization (IVF) and in vitro culture (IVC) are important technics for human ART. Especially, IVC is most important factor to achieve good/high pregnancy rate. In order to reach this goal, we have to develop in vivo mimic/like human embryo co-culture system. We presented/introduced a new stretch embryo co-culture system for human ART
