Updates from the Stanford University- Matteo Molè Lab - We focus on investigating the complex process of human embryo implantation in vitro with the mission to improve IVF success. https://med.stanford.edu/matteo-mole.html
We are incredibly grateful to the Shurl & Kay Curci Foundation for supporting our research on implantation. In an often underfunded field, this kind of partnership is what makes progress possible. Proud to be doing this work at @Stanford.med

Our team has successfully achieved human embryo implantation in the lab using a 3D endometrial scaffold.
The Goal: Implantation is of the biggest hurdle in pregnancy. By understanding this process in the lab, we can develop new therapeutics to improve clinical outcomes and IVF success rates.

Curious. Over the last 100 years #longevity has pretty much doubled w little research input, while #fertlity decrases dramatically and yet, all the hype and the funding goes into treating aging as a disease and there is little research and funding for #ReproBio.

Why is this important? This is a key step to unify research, compare studies , and accelerate new patient-specific diagnostics to improve fertility care.
Here we propose a standardized framework, outlining morphological, temporal, and functional criteria for defining implantation stages and assessing human embryo viability in vitro.
Thrilled to announce our new review in @ASRM_FandS on a critical bottleneck in fertility: human embryo implantation. For decades, this "black box" has limited our understanding of implantation failure and early pregnancy loss.
