#fertilized egg

Ohio Republican lawmakers draft a bill that would make ALL (every single one) doctors whose patients undergo a  ectopic pregnancy where the fertilized egg implants outside of the uterus, a murderer and felon.

Why, because they are mandating a medically impossible procedure and if the doctor doesn’t do it, he or she goes to prison.

This is how fanatical Ohio Republicans have become and how they don’t understand a Damn thing about science, including medical science

Intracytoplasmic morphologically chose sperm infusion (IMSI) is a procedure utilized as a part of IVF treatment to look at and select sperm utilizing a high-amplification advanced imaging magnifying instrument for microinjection into the egg.

With the IMSI procedure, our researchers are better ready to survey the structure of…

Assisted Hatching In Vizag

In vitro fertilization (IVF) failure is a frustrating experience for individuals and couples, and it is often caused by an embryo’s failure to implant in the uterus.

For women who have failed IVF or have a poor prognosis for IVF, the fertility doctor may recommend a technique known as Assisted Hatching.

Who Should Use Assisted Hatching with IVF?

Assisted hatching is thought to be helpful for…

Fertilized egg cells trigger, monitor loss of sperm's epigenetic memory

Scientists from the Institute of Molecular Biotechnology (IMBA) in Vienna, Austria, have discovered how an embryo's genomic integrity is safeguarded during the first 24 h after fertilization. Insights into this mechanism have implications for improving in vitro fertilization.

The events triggered when sperm meets an egg are not only life changing for the parents but deeply fascinating from a scientific point of view, too.

Following fertilization, DNA from the mother's egg cell and the father's sperm cell constitute the genetic blueprint of the single-cell embryo or zygote. The incoming paternal DNA contains modifications that facilitate an "epigenetic memory" of its sperm state. Proteins provided by the fertilized egg act to largely erase this memory in order to generate a totipotent embryo that can give rise to a whole new individual. The mechanisms underlying natural reprogramming to totipotency are remarkably efficient but remain poorly understood. "To put this into perspective, reprogramming to induced pluripotency in cell culture takes several days to weeks whereas reprogramming to totipotency in zygotes occurs in less than 24 h," says Kikuë Tachibana-Konwalski, who devotes her laboratory's research to understanding the molecular secrets of egg cells and zygotes.

夏天一直都不是我擅长发挥脑动力的时间哈哈。构思这个主题的时候先查看了维基里这天重要事迹的记录。入眼的一串长长的事件清单，觉得值得画幅画来表现的，应该是对现在人类文明进步有深远影响的才更有纪念性意义，于是排除掉战争纷乱天灾人祸，提取了这两个，具有划时代纪念意义、且分别在英吉利海峡两岸所发生的事件来表现。图中的2015分别是：怀孕的母体 / 受精卵 / 试管 / 跨越英吉利海峡的飞机。

There are  pregnant  mother,   fertilized egg,  test tube,  the plane across the English channel in this picture.

1909年7月25日，飞机第一次成功飞越英吉利海峡，飞行员为法国飞行员布莱里奥。这次飞行从加莱附近起飞，降落在多佛堡，历时 43分钟。在不到一百年里，科学和医学技术发展迅猛。69年后的同一天， 1978年7月25日深夜23点47分，在英国奥德姆总医院人类历史上第一位试管婴儿路易丝·布朗诞生，标志着人类在胚胎学上的重大进步。当时原本想要画自己生日(也是今年母亲节)那天doodle，和管理人天放联系上之后发现已经错过机会了。但很有趣的是在画这个doodle的时候，电台随机到了Ben woods的一张专辑：《An Attempt to fly》(尝试飞翔)，古典钢琴的节奏与氛围帮助自己拓开想象，每一首都值得不断地循环。这次作图的也是有受这张专辑封面朦胧模糊的复古质感影响，想要做出类似旧的新闻报纸的感觉来。所以觉得冥冥中自己分配到这一天的内容也不是偶然：） 最近这段时间刚经过了毕业展，但紧接着很多杂乱的事情要忙，也有一些零碎的稿子在画，一天就在睡了吃画一会画，累了睡一会起来继续… 基本上都是这样的久坐状态。生活也受到作息的影响，整个人的状态有点失衡。夏天也算是我一年里最没精神的时间，电脑很容易过热操作也慢得无法容忍……。希望毕业后能好好的安排时间运动起来（躺…    这次也是自己正式意义上描绘科普类的插图，搜集资料的过程其实挺有趣的，希望以后也能够接触更多这种类型或是Animetaste组织的其他项目~ 也希望大家喜欢我这次的表现~
