Researchers in Denmark found that babies born after a frozen embryo was thawed and implanted had higher birth weights and were unlikely to suffer abnormalities as compared to those born from fresh embryos. Only the very top quality embryos survive the freezing and thawing process. And you only get pregnancies in patients with lots of good embryos to freeze, lead researcher Dr Anja Pinborg was quoted by the Daily Telegraph as saying.

He predicts that biological aging will be an increasingly hot topic of study in the coming years, especially in the western world where people are living longer than ever before. In their study, the researchers investigated the bones of about 400 Russian families 787 men, 18 to 89 years old, and 723 women, 18 to 90 years old. The results indicated that men and women inherit different aging patterns.

Lewkowski's team reviewed the records of five obese women who underwent bariatric surgery followed by IVF.

We have been trying to look for signals of what embryos are most likely to lead to a pregnancy, said Denny Sakkas, a Yale University researcher and chief scientific officer at US-based Molecular Biometrics, which has licensed the technology. Researchers have looked at the size, shape and structure of embryos to pick those they think have the best chance of resulting in pregnancy. Now, they can better the chances of choosing a prime candidate with a new technique that uses infrared light to measure the chemical make-up of the fluid surrounding the embryo.

Headed by Donatella Marazziti of the University of Pisa, the study has cited that this problem could be accounted to a kind of mental rigidity that leads to harmful compulsive behaviour in sufferers.
