Abstract

FAKHERI, Taravat et al. Co-culture of Mouse Two-cell Embryos on Human Endometrial Stromal Cells in Proliferative and Secretory Phases. Int. J. Morphol. [online]. 2012, vol.30, n.4, pp.1338-1342. ISSN 0717-9502.  http://dx.doi.org/10.4067/S0717-95022012000400014.

There were no significant differences in the distribution of embryos reaching to 2- cells, 4- cells, morula or blastocysts culturing on human endometrial stromal cells (Secretory or proliferative phases). The percent of morula in stage A (without fragmentation), stage B (<25% fragmentation), stage C (25-50% fragmentation) and stage D (>50% fragmentation) and did not showed significant differences between two coculture groups. Thus, the phase that the endometrial stromal cells were in thereby did not affect on the quality of embryos.

Keywords : Co-culture; Embryo; Endometrium; Mice; Proliferative phase; Secretory phase.
