Numerous chronic diseases have a substantial hereditary component. Recent advances in human genetics have allowed the extent of this to be quantified via genome-wide association studies, producing polygenic risk scores (PRS), which can then be applied to individuals to estimate their risk of developing a disease in question.

The diagnosis of male fertility is one of the major concerns of reproductive medicine. Approximately 30–40% of men with otherwise normal fertility parameters are still unable to achieve pregnancy.

ART has allowed the extracorporeal observation of early human development. Time-lapse technology (TLT) has revealed the complexity of the morphokinetic changes underpinning fertilization and the importance of this process for the genetic and cellular integrity of the embryo.

An easy-to-use device for removing a subdermal contraceptive implant may be helpful in settings where skilled providers are in short supply. Prior to this study, the only report on the world’s first hand-held, mechanical device with build-in incisor was a Swedish study using earlier versions of the product.

Previous studies have shown the presence of SMCs, fibroblasts, endothelial cells and immune cells in myometrium and leiomyomas. However, there is no information on the cellular heterogeneity in these tissues and the transcriptomic differences at the single-cell level between these tissues.

Progesterone supplementation during luteal phase and early pregnancy may improve the number of live births after frozen-thawed embryo transfer. However, due to the limited number of previous studies, being mainly retrospective, evidence is still limited.

miRNAs and extracellular vesicles (EVs) from EF have been described as mediators of the embryo–endometrium crosstalk. Therefore, the analysis of miRNA from this fluid could become a non-invasive technique for recognizing implantative endometrium. This analysis could potentially help improve the implantation rates in ART.

The blastocyst euploidy rate among women undergoing ART has already been shown to significantly decrease with increasing female age, and the total number of euploid embryos is dependent on the blastocyst cohort size. However, the vast majority of published studies are based on retrospective analysis of data.

Identity-release egg donation has been the only treatment option available to patients wishing to pursue this route to parenthood in the UK since 2005. However, little is known about how well parents understand this legislation, and how they feel about potential donor–child contact.
