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