    1 2019 Bulletin for Subspecialty Certification in Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility The American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Inc. 2915 Vine St., Dallas, TX 75204 First in Women’s Health This Bulletin, issued in January 2018, represents the official statement of the 2019 requirements for subspecialty certification in Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility 2 Important Information for all Candidates 1. Beginning in calendar year 2020, all physicians who have completed an ABOG or ACGME fellowship in Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility must achieve ABOG subspecialty certification within 8 years of completion of their training. If certification is not achieved within 8 years, the physician no longer will be eligible to apply for either the qualifying or certifying subspecialty examination unless an additional 6 months of subspecialty training is completed. Physicians who have completed subspecialty training in calendar year 2012 or earlier must be subspecialty certified by 2020 or will be required to complete an additional 6 months of training before regaining eligibility to apply for certification. 2. The preparation of case lists for the Certifying Examination has changed. Candidates will no longer submit paper case lists. Rather, submission will be electronic. Candidates MUST use the electronic reproductive endocrinology and infertility case list forms that will be posted on their ABOG Personal Page in early 2018. 3. Fellows may take up to 8 weeks off each of the fellowship years. The total time off may not exceed 15 weeks over the three years. 4. All fees must be paid by credit card through the ABOG website (www.abog.org) and are payable in US Dollars only.

    Gonadotropin Therapy in Assisted Reproduction: an Evolutionary Perspective from Biologics to Biotech

    REVIEW Gonadotropin therapy in assisted reproduction: an evolutionary perspective from biologics to biotech Roge´rio de Barros F. Lea˜ o, Sandro C. Esteves Andrology & Human Reproduction Clinic (ANDROFERT), Referral Center for Male Reproduction, Campinas/SP, Brazil. Gonadotropin therapy plays an integral role in ovarian stimulation for infertility treatments. Efforts have been made over the last century to improve gonadotropin preparations. Undoubtedly, current gonadotropins have better quality and safety profiles as well as clinical efficacy than earlier ones. A major achievement has been introducing recombinant technology in the manufacturing processes for follicle-stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone, and human chorionic gonadotropin. Recombinant gonadotropins are purer than urine- derived gonadotropins, and incorporating vial filling by mass virtually eliminated batch-to-batch variations and enabled accurate dosing. Recombinant and fill-by-mass technologies have been the driving forces for launching of prefilled pen devices for more patient-friendly ovarian stimulation. The most recent developments include the fixed combination of follitropin alfa + lutropin alfa, long-acting FSH gonadotropin, and a new family of prefilled pen injector devices for administration of recombinant gonadotropins. The next step would be the production of orally bioactive molecules with selective follicle-stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone activity.

Fax: 56-2-6108167, E-mail: [email protected] background: Many definitions used in medically assisted reproduction (MAR) vary in different settings, making it difficult to standardize and compare procedures in different countries and regions. With the expansion of infertility interventions worldwide, including lower resource settings, the importance and value of a common nomenclature is critical. The objective is to develop an internationally accepted and continually updated set of definitions, which would be utilized to standardize and harmonize international data collection, and to assist in monitoring the availability, efficacy, and safety of assisted reproductive technology (ART) being practiced worldwide.

    The Evolution of Our Understanding of Human Development Over the Last 10 Years ✉ Ali H

    COMMENT https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-021-24793-3 OPEN The evolution of our understanding of human development over the last 10 years ✉ Ali H. Brivanlou 1 & Norbert Gleicher 2,3,4 As it fulfills an irresistible need to understand our own origins, research on human development occupies a unique niche in scientific and medical research. 1234567890():,; In this Comment, we explore the progress in our understanding of human development over the past 10 years. The focus is on basic research, clinical applications, and ethical considerations. What basic research has taught us about human development Over the last decade, progress in understanding our own development was mostly driven by the emergence and combination of remarkable new technologies. New molecular biology tools such as single-cell RNA-sequencing (sc-RNA-seq) unveiled the earliest genetic signature of the three cell lineages of the human blastocyst and allowed for the discovery of human-specific signatures1–3. CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing has offered further access to in vitro functional studies in human blastocysts4. However, as we discuss below, an ethical line was crossed when a group claimed that genetically modified human embryos had been transferred, leading to births5 when neither public opinion nor a consensus within the scientific community had been reached regarding whether crossing the germline in in vitro fertilization (IVF) was safe and ethically acceptable. On the embryology side, the development of an in vitro attachment platform for human blastocysts offered a first glance into post-implantation events up to 12 days1,3,5,6. This paved the way for several important discoveries, including the observation that the human embryo can self- organize to generate embryonic and extraembryonic germ layers, yolk sac, and amniotic cavities in the absence of maternal influences5,6; and the presence of a transient embryonic tissue of trophectodermal lineage, adjacent to the yolk sac, therefore named, yolk-sac trophectoderm (ysTE)5.
