Extracellular vesicles as non-invasive biomarkers for assessing the competence of human embryos to implant and establish a clinical pregnancy Ghent University
Infertility is a major problem in the human population. Despite significant advances in assisted reproductive technologies, such as in vitro fertilization (IVF), a pregnancy can only be established in 30% of IVF-cycles, as the quality of the embryo plays a major role in initiating the pregnancy.
