Cytokine supplemented maturation medium improved development to term following somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) in cattle
CONCLUSIONS: Cytokine supplementation increased efficiency of in vitro production of IVF and SCNT embryos and in vivo development of SCNT embryos to term.IMPLICATIONS: Cytokine supplementation is beneficial to embryo culture systems, which may shed light on requirements of early embryo development.PMID:37308165 | DOI:10.1071/RD23011 (Source: Reproduction, Fertility, and Development)

Optimizing intrauterine insemination and spontaneous conception in women with unilateral hydrosalpinx or tubal pathology: A systematic review and narrative synthesis
CONCLUSIONS: Therapeutic salpingectomy or tubal occlusion improve IUI or spontaneous conception in women with hydrosalpinx, although more prospective studies are needed. While significant study heterogeneity hampered assessment of fertility outcomes, overall, infertile women with PTOs had similar IUI pregnancy outcomes to those with bilateral tubal patency while DTOs had inferior PR/cycle. This review highlights significant deficiencies in the evidence guiding management for this group of patients.PMID:37267890 | DOI:10.1016/j.ejogrb.2023.05.024 (Source: Reproductive Biology)

Optimizing intrauterine insemination and spontaneous conception in women with unilateral hydrosalpinx or tubal pathology: A systematic review and narrative synthesis
Tubal surgery ’s role in infertile women with unilateral tubal pathology (e.g. hydrosalpinx, tubal occlusion) desiring spontaneous or intrauterine insemination (IUI) conception and where in-vitro fertilisation is infeasible is unclear.

Women of reproductive age living in the North of the Netherlands: Lifelines Reproductive Origins of Adult Health and Disease (Lifelines-ROAHD) cohort
Purpose The Lifelines Reproductive Origins of Adult Health and Disease (Lifelines-ROAHD) cohort provides a uniquely detailed dataset allowing investigations of determinants of reproductive health as well as the influence of reproductive events on future health and disease of mother and child(ren). Lifelines-ROAHD cohort is embedded in the population-based Lifelines cohort study. Participants In total, 5412 women of reproductive age (20–45 years) were included in the Lifelines-ROAHD cohort, in the period 2017–2018. Findings to date In the population, 45.6% of the women indicated that they had a natural menstru...

Melatonin improves the ability of spermatozoa to bind with oocytes in the mouse
CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS: This study suggests that melatonin can promote sperm maturation and sperm function, providing important information for further research on the physiological function and protective effect of melatonin in male reproduction.PMID:37068786 | DOI:10.1071/RD23006 (Source: Reproduction, Fertility, and Development)
