"Mammalian reproductive assist technology"
At present, individual production by reproductive assist technology (ART) is attracting attention not only in humans but also in livestock. In cattle, it has been reported that more than half of the embryos produced in the world are derived from in vitro fertilized embryos, and ART plays a crucial role in livestock production.
In the first half, I will introduce an overview of embryo transfer, which is the main technology of ART, and recent research topics.
In the second half, I will introduce the in vitro maturation, which is the basic technology of ART, and the research trends in the world, including the research we have conducted.
Expected Learning
First half
Understanding from fertilization of mammals to pregnancy recognition
Can consider novel livestock production technology that makes full use of ART
Second half
Understanding mechanism of oocyte maturation
Can consider how to apply basic knowledge about oocyte maturation
