This Epub incorporates 37 years of embodied research at Monash & La Trobe Universities, Melbourne, by the author with his colleagues in Australia and overseas (England, Singapore, India, Sri Lanka, Italy & Japan).It is a multi-author, visual presentation of the microscopic structure of human oocytes, sperm and embryos in conjunction with clinical IVF and ART and includes embryonic stem cells, a logical extension of ART.Most of the images were taken with electron microscopes (TEM & SEM), light and phase microscopes (LM) and fluorescent microscopes (FM) with diagrams.Both published micrographs (from our atlases and journals) and also original unpublished micrographs are presented. The printed atlases were scanned and new material was provided on PPT, PDF & YouTube for EPub.The aim of this EPub is to make our research available online for clinicians, scientists & students and posterity.

The most profound dilemma in assisted reproduction to date is the inability to recognize potentially viable embryos before their replacement into the reproductive tract. Application of increasingly advanced new technology has allowed the field of embryo evaluation to evolve rapidly and dramatically over the past five years.Human Preimplantation Emb

This three volume set is a comprehensive guide to Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) for clinicians. Volume one begins with an introduction to infertility, describing physiology, endocrinology and infertility in both men and women. The following sections provide in depth discussion on ART, from ovulation induction and intrauterine insemination, to complications, outcomes and ethical issues. The second volume is dedicated to In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF) and related procedures, whilst volume three is an atlas of embryology. This practical manual is an invaluable reference for clinicians specialising in infertility management and includes nearly 1000 full colour photographs, each with a brief description to enhance understanding. Key points Three volume set – complete guide to ART Each volume dedicated to specific topic – Infertility, IVF & Related Procedures, and Atlas of Embryology Includes nearly 1000 photographs with descriptions Invaluable reference for practising clinicians

The human oocyte or egg is the rarest and most rapidly ageing cell in the body, and yet one that is essential for fertility. This book is about the development, biology and pathology of the oocyte, and new technologies to manipulate, enhance, and control fertility. These technologies are paving the way for overcoming infertility, avoiding inherited diseases, and creating genetically engineered animals from embryo stem cells and cloning. This progress would have been impossible without the myriad of scientific and technical developments covered in this book, including the ability to manipulate and fertilize oocytes in vitro. World-leading experts have contributed to the first book for many years on basic and applied science of the egg, its clinical manipulation, and its pivotal role in reproductive medicine and biology. It will be an essential reference for scientists and clinicians in reproductive medicine and animal breeding technology, and everyone involved in treating infertility.

This extensively updated new edition provides an indispensable account of modern in-vitro fertilization practice, building upon the popularity of previous editions. The authors initially give a comprehensive review of the biology of human gametes and embryos, before outlining basic to advanced IVF techniques. New developments in practical techniques and understanding are discussed, including in-vitro maturation, vitrification, preservation of fertility for cancer patients, stem cell technology, preimplantation genetic testing, and the role of epigenetics and imprinting. The revised introduction also incorporates a 'refresher' study review of fundamental principles of cell and molecular biology, now updated with current knowledge of meiosis in human oocytes, embryo metabolism and basic principles of genome editing. With high-quality illustrations and extensive, up-to-date reading lists, it is a must-have textbook for trainee and practising embryologists, as well as clinicians who are interested in the scientific principles that underpin successful IVF.
