Article Abstract
Research Question: Is it feasible to apply conventional IVF to couples undergoing preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidies (PGT-A) with non-severe male infertility?
Design: The last wash fluid of biopsied trophectoderm (TE) cells was collected for whole genome amplification (WGA). A method was developed to determine parental contamination. Using single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) analysis, two standard curves were established; further mixtures were used for verification. Finally, 29 WGA products from couples undergoing conventional IVF were used to evaluate parental contamination.
Results: The WGA results of the last wash fluid of biopsied TE cells revealed almost no free DNA. By adopting two strategies based on maternally and paternally biased SNP in the mixture, data from bioinformatics analysis were analysed to determine the relationship between maternal (Index M) and paternal (Index F) bias statistics. Two standard curves were successfully established based on these indices that allowed the prediction of maternal and parental contamination, which correlated well with actual ratios of known composition mixtures during validation. The average contamination level was 10.6% determined from 10 WGA products that featured maternal contamination, whereas that of the other 19 products that featured paternal contamination was less than 10%.
Conclusions: This study confirmed the feasibility of applying conventional IVF to couples undergoing PGT-A with non-severe male infertility.

Optimizing IVF lab workflows through data-driven insights: associations between lab management, procedural timings, and workload with blastulation rates.

Study Question: Do IVF laboratory workflows influence the mean blastulation rate per cohort of inseminated metaphase II oocytes (m-BR)?
Summary Answer: Neither the total number of procedures nor the workload per operator affected m-BR; instead, each additional hour in the interval from ovulation trigger to oocyte denudation (range 36-44 h) was associated with a measurable decline, especially beyond the 40-h threshold.
What Is Known Already: Control of laboratory conditions and standardized protocols are essential for optimizing m-BR in IVF. While advancements in technology and culture systems have improved ART outcomes, the effect of laboratory managerial decisions and procedural timing on embryological outcomes remains unclear.
Comparison of the clinical outcomes between conventional intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) and PIEZO-ICSI in women undergoing the first cycle of in-vitro fertilization.

The effectiveness of PIEZO-ICSI (P-ICSI) compared to conventional ICSI (C-ICSI) is still controversial. The only confirmed effectiveness of P-ICSI compared to C-ICSI is that it can reduce the number of degenerated oocytes after ICSI. This study included 100 patients undergoing their first IVF cycle.

Preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A) is a popular approach in assisted reproductive technology that improves embryo selection and implantation rates. Traditional approaches rely on trophectoderm (TE) biopsy, which is an invasive procedure that might jeopardize embryo integrity and create technical constraints such as mosaicism-related misclassification. Non-invasive preimplantation genetic testing (niPGT) has emerged as a possible alternative, using embryonic cell-free DNA (cfDNA) extracted from wasted culture media or blastocoel fluid to assess chromosomal status without requiring direct embryo manipulation.

Background: In addition to conventional in-vitro-fertilization IVF (cIVF) alternative protocols such as natural cycle (NC-) and minimal stimulation (Min stim-) protocols allow individualized IVF and oocyte freezing treatments. The objective was to develop a model to predict ovarian response in relation to different stimulation protocols and anti-mullerian hormone (AMH) levels.
Methods: International multi-centre retrospective cohort study including 1504 NC-IVF, 1287 Min stim IVF and 2048 cIVF cycles performed 01.

Purpose: To assess if 1PN-derived embryos are diploid/euploid and suitable for embryo transfer.
Methods: This systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted according to the Meta-Analysis of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (MOOSE) guidelines. PubMed, Embase, and SCOPUS were systematically searched for peer-reviewed original papers using relevant keywords and Medical Subject Heading (MeSH) terms: "1PN" OR "monopronucleated" OR "single pronucleus" AND "cleavage" OR "embryo quality" OR "blastocyst quality" OR "blastulation" OR "embryo development" OR "euploidy" OR "ploidy" OR "pregnancy" OR "live birth" OR "miscarriage" OR "clinical outcomes" OR "malformation.
