🧪 One possible explanation is that some embryos may stop developing while being grown in the laboratory and therefore never reach the blastocyst stage.

ADAPTIVF at LIFE 2026 🧠 × 🧬
I had the pleasure of sharing our work on the mind–body connection in infertility and its potential links with gametes and embryos.
Still much to explore.

🧠 Study: distinct early brain-development lineages.
Headlines: TWO BRAINS FUSED TOGETHER! 🤦♀️
What did the researchers actually find?

But does this meaning change across different family forms? And how much does the way donor conception is discussed within the family shape that journey?
A fascinating topic for discussion. 🧬
Join us on Oct. 28 for an SSR webinar with Dr. Ewelina Warzych as she presents her BOR Research Paper of the Year research on how follicular fluid-derived small EVs rescue bovine oocytes under metabolic stress!

Findings:
🔬 Oocytes survived DNA breaks & fertilized.
🔬 Embryos faced DNA damage & developmental delays.
🔬 Offspring showed a spike in de novo (post-zygotic) mutations!

Highly recommend this! YEN is one of the best initiatives for ECRs in #devbio #evodevo #embryology 🐣 You'll gain valuable experience in an inclusive and diverse setting (and you might even get free swag, if you are lucky or corrupt... We don't judge!) 😊
