Live birth in patients stimulated with r-hFSH or r-hFSH: r-hLH is strongly associated with cumulus cell derived gene expression models.
Reproductive biology and endocrinology : RB&E ·doi:10.1186/s12958-025-01480-2

BackgroundMorphological embryo assessment, time-lapse imaging or PGT-A can prioritize an embryo for transfer in IVF/ICSI cycles. Nevertheless, there remains potential to enhance the efficiency of ART cycles and reduce the time-to-pregnancy.…

Cumulus-corona gene expression analysis combined with morphological embryo scoring in single embryo transfer cycles increases live birth after fresh transfer and decreases time to pregnancy.
Journal of assisted reproduction and genetics ·doi:10.1007/s10815-018-01398-2

PurposeClinical pregnancy rate after IVF with eSET stagnates between 30 and 40%. In order to increase pregnancy and live birth rates, multiple embryo transfer is still common practice. Providing additional non-invasive tools to choose the c…

Pregnancy prediction in single embryo transfer cycles after ICSI using QPCR: validation in oocytes from the same cohort.
PloS one ·doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0054226

Cumulus cell (CC) gene expression is being explored as an additional method to morphological scoring to choose the embryo with the highest chance to pregnancy. In 47 ICSI patients with single embryo transfer (SET), from which individual CC …
