摘要
Purpose: This review was designed to outline potential uses of an embryo co-culture system in human assisted reproduction programs to improve embryo quality and pregnancy rates. Results: The various cell types used in embryo co-culture were reviewed in addition to the use ofco-culturefor both animal and human embryos. Go-culture provides a method to enhance embryo development in an inadequate in vitro environment without compromising embryo quality. Human IVF laboratories have used various types of ''helper cells'' to improve rare of development, reduce cell fragmentation rate and in some instances increase pregnancy and implantation rates. Conclusion: In conjuction with several assisted reproduction procedures such as IVF, microsurgical fertilization, cryopreservation and genetic evaluation, co-culture may increase the number of viable embryos for replacement and improve pregnancy rates.
