Emerging technology could be option for in-vitro fertilization
Technology that more closely mirrors the natural fertilization process is showing promise as a new method of in-vitro fertilization (IVF), U-M Health System researchers have found.
The researchers discovered that microfluidics—an emerging area of physics and biotechnology that deals with the microscopic flow of fluids—can be used successfully for IVF in mice. They also found that lower total numbers and concentrations of sperm were required when using microfluidic channels instead of culture dishes. more…
