Autologous Endometrial Coculture is a technique of assisted reproductive technology. It involves placing a patient’s fertilized eggs on top of a layer of cells from her own uterine lining, creating a more natural environment for embryo development and maximizing the chance for an in vitro fertilization (IVF) pregnancy. ==How Coculture is performed== A typical Coculture cycle consists of the following steps: 1. Once a patient has been deemed an appropriate candidate for the procedure, she undergoes an endometrial biopsy during which a small piece of her uterine lining is removed. 2. The uterine lining sample is sent to a research lab, where it is treated, purified and frozen. 3. The patient then undergoes a typical IVF cycle and is given medication to stimulate egg growth in her ovaries. 4. The patient’s eggs are retrieved and mixed with the sperm. At this time, the lab begins thawing and growing her endometrial cells. 5. Once fertilization is confirmed, the patient’s embryos are placed on top of her own (and now thawed) endometrial cells. 6. Over the next two days, the embryos are closely monitored for growth and development. 7. The patient’s embryos are transferred into her uterus for implantation and pregnancy. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Autologous endometrial coculture」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
