Article Abstract
Purpose: Are trends in singleton donor oocyte IVF perinatal outcomes consistent over time among four international ethnically diverse infertility centers?
Methods: This retrospective cohort consisted of an infertility network of four international IVF centers across three continents. Singleton live births resulting from fresh and frozen donor oocyte embryo transfers from January 1, 2012 to December 31, 2018 were included. The main outcome measures were birth weight (BW), preterm birth (PTB), large for gestational age (LGA), small for gestational age (SGA) and gestational age (GA) at delivery.
Results: The entire cohort (n = 6640) consisted of 4753 fresh and 1887 frozen donor oocyte embryo transfers. Maternal age, parity, body mass index, neonatal sex and GA at delivery were similar for fresh and frozen donor oocyte embryo transfers in the entire cohort and within each infertility center. All four centers had a trend of decreased BW and rates of PTB before 32 weeks annually, although significance was not reached. Three of the four centers had annual increased trends of PTB before 37 weeks and LGA newborns, although significance was not reached. BWs for the entire cohort for fresh and frozen donor embryo transfers were 3166 g ± 601 g and 3137 g ± 626 g, respectively.
Conclusion: Similar trends in perinatal outcomes were present across four international infertility centers over 7 years. The overall perinatal trends in donor oocyte IVF may be applicable to centers worldwide, but further studies in more geographic regions are needed.

Zygotes are used to create genetically modified animals by electroporation using the CRISPR-Cas9 system. Such zygotes in rats are obtained from superovulated female rats after mating. Recently, we reported that in vivo-fertilized zygotes had higher cryotolerance and developmental ability than in vitro-fertilized zygotes in Sprague Dawley (SD) and Fischer 344 rats.

Research Objective: Among singleton live births resulting from donor oocyte cycles, do perinatal outcomes differ between single (SET) and double embryo transfers (DET)?
Methods: We utilized a retrospective cohort of 610 recipients who had a singleton livebirth following nonidentified vitrified donor oocyte IVF cycle from a fertility clinic in the southeast US, 2008-2016. Perinatal outcomes included gestational age and birth weight. Preterm birth was defined as <37 weeks and low birth weight was defined as <2500 grams.
Seasonal and age effects on embryo production in domestic cats under a standardized protocol.

Introduction: embryo production (IVP) in the domestic cat () remains highly variable owing to intrinsic reproductive traits and the absence of fully standardized protocols.
Methods: We retrospectively analysed 108 IVP replicates produced under a single protocol (2020-2024) to quantify the effects of season, donor age and methodological parameters on oocyte yield and embryo development.
Results: Winter proved the most favourable season for both oocyte recovery and blastocyst formation, whereas spring, despite lower initial yields, achieved the greatest post-selection oocyte retention.

This study investigates the narratives of egg donation (ED) in Taiwan and transnational contexts. Although commercial ED is prohibited in Taiwan, legally fixed compensation remains relatively high (USD 3000). Internationally, ED is a profitable segment of the fertility industry, driving cross-border donor recruitment.

To mitigate the detrimental effects of heat stress (HS) on the production efficiency of Wagyu cattle oocyte pick-up (OPU) - in vitro fertilization (IVF), this study conducted a 20-day folic acid (VB9) supplementation trial in Wagyu cattle under HS conditions. Using a staged repeated measurements design, OPU-IVF production procedures were performed on Wagyu cattle (12-month-old, n=5 out of 20 total) at six time points during the supplementation period (Days 0, 4, 8, 12, 16, and 20). ELISA-based biochemical assays were employed to evaluate the effects of VB9 supplementation on HS-related indicators in serum and follicular fluid of Wagyu cattle under HS conditions.
