The effect of growth factor supplemented ART culture media on whole mouse embryo development

Eizellen, Spermien und Embryonenwerden in der Reproduktionsklinik für einen bestimmten Zeitraum in einer künstlichen Umgebung gehandhabt. Die Umgebung sollte der natürlichen Umgebung so ähnlich wie möglich sein. Granulozyten-Makrophagen-Kolonie-stimulierender Faktor (GM-CSF) wurde zu einem attraktiv...
