Abstract
SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.
Abstract
The embryonic culture system is the main part of in-vitro embryonic
development. The culture system consists of chemical factors such as the chemical
composition of the culture media and physical factors such as temperature, pH, oil
overlay and, incubation systems. The optimal culture conditions are needed to support
embryonic development in-vitro, increase pregnancy, implantation rates, and decrease
the level of pregnancy loss. Any suboptimality in culture conditions may impair
embryonic development and affect subsequent viability. In this chapter, we will focus
on the current culture system in the field of assisted reproductive technology (ART),
passing by current culture media formulations, deficiencies, culture devices used, and
the areas that need further investigations.
