What is the development trend of IVF technology? What are the new breakthroughs?



Development trend of IVF technology

IVF technology is an important means of assisted reproductive technology, which is mainly used to solve the problem of infertility and help couples who cannot conceive naturally to achieve their reproductive aspirations. With the development of science and technology and the progress of medicine, IVF technology continues to innovate and improve. The future development trend will show breakthroughs in the following aspects.

1. Further improvement of gene screening

At present, IVF technology has been able to carry out gene screening for common genetic diseases, and avoid the transfer of embryos suffering from these diseases, thus reducing the risk of infant disease. In the future, with the progress of gene sequencing technology, IVF technology will be able to more accurately screen more genetic diseases, including chromosome abnormalities and rare genetic diseases. Further improvement of gene screening will enable patients to know whether a child carries a specific gene mutation before embryo transfer, so as to better select embryos with reduced risk for transfer and reduce the birth rate of infants suffering from genetic diseases. In addition, using gene editing technologies such as CRISPR-Cas9 to repair embryos is also a possible future development direction, which will effectively reduce the occurrence of genetic diseases and improve the health quality of test tube babies.

2. Application of minimally invasive technology

The current IVF technology requires a larger surgical incision to take eggs and transfer embryos, which has certain complications and recovery cycles. With the progress of medical technology, minimally invasive surgery will become the mainstream of IVF technology in the future. Minimally invasive technology uses ultrasound, microscope and other auxiliary equipment to reduce the size of surgical incision, reduce trauma and reduce postoperative complications. Compared with traditional surgery, minimally invasive technology can not only improve the safety and success rate of surgery, but also shorten the recovery time of patients, reduce the damage to patients' bodies, and improve the comfort of childbirth.

3. Add new embryo culture medium

Embryo culture is a key step in IVF technology. In recent years, researchers have continuously improved the culture environment to improve the survival rate and quality of embryos. At present, the commonly used embryo culture medium mainly relies on serum or human serum preparation, which has the problem of unstable transmission and supply of infectious diseases. In the future, it is expected that new serum free or low serum culture media will be available, which will avoid the potential risk of serum and improve the success rate of embryo cultivation. In addition, other studies focused on optimizing the time and conditions of embryo cultivation. The survival rate and quality of embryos may be further improved by improving the culture conditions and duration of embryos to simulate the natural reproduction environment.

4. Avoidance of multiple pregnancy

Multiple pregnancy is a common complication of IVF technology, which will increase the risk of pregnant women and fetuses. In order to avoid multiple pregnancy, single embryo transfer strategy has been widely used in recent years. In the future, accurate embryo screening and culture technology is expected to further improve the success rate of single embryo transfer and reduce the occurrence of multiple pregnancies. At the same time, previous studies have also found that it is possible to obtain multiple embryos from a single embryo through technologies such as embryo division or embryo nuclear transfer, thus avoiding the risk of multiple pregnancies.

Summary

To sum up, the future development of IVF technology will be mainly reflected in the improvement of gene screening, the application of minimally invasive technology, the development of new embryo culture media and the avoidance of multiple pregnancies. These trends will further improve the safety, success rate and health quality of IVF technology, and bring more hope and gospel to couples who cannot conceive naturally.
