Thank you for reading this. What is our research about? Taking a small amount of tissue from the lining of the womb (endometrium) can sometimes improve the chance of achieving a pregnancy in women who have previously had several unsuccessful attempts at In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF) or Intra- cytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). This procedure has been named “Endometrial Scratch” (ES). It is not known exactly why performing an Endometrial Scratch may be beneficial, but it is thought that the process of “scratching” the lining of the womb may release certain chemicals that are important in helping the fertilised egg (embryo) stick to the lining of the womb (implantation).

  • Fertility 2021 Full Abstract Book
    ORAL PRESENTATIONS 1 ORAL PRESENTATIONS SRF PhD Prize Session SRF.1 The novel use of androgens to optimise detection of the fertile window in giant pandas Kirsten Wilsona, Jella Wautersb, Iain Valentinec, Alan McNeillya, Mick Raed, A. Forbes Howiea, Ruth Andrewe, W. Colin Duncana aMRC CRH, University of Edinburgh; bGhent University, Belgium; Pairi Daiza Foundation, Belgium; Leibniz Institute for Zoo and Wildlife Research, Germany; cZoocraft; dEdinburgh Napier University; eBHF CVS, University of Edinburgh Background: Giant pandas are seasonally monoestrus. In Spring, estrogens increase for 1-2 weeks before a peak is reached, followed by 24-48 hours of fertility. Accurately monitoring the hormone profile is therefore vital for prediction and detection of this fertile window to facilitate insemination in a captive breeding programme. Aim: To consider biomarkers for advanced warning of estrus and the accurate timing of insemination. Methods: Urine samples from three females covering 9 breeding cycles, from 40 days before estrus until 10 days after estrus, were assayed for estrone-3-glucuronide (E1G) and progesterone (P4) by Arbor Assays ELISAs, for testosterone (T) and DHEA by validated in-house ELISAs, and for luteinising hormone (LH) by bioassay. Hormone concentrations were corrected against urinary specific gravity (USpG). Results: E1G increased for 11.4 days (range 9-14) before peaking, with the start of the rise detected retrospectively. Prospectively, using current methods, it starts when E1G concentrations become higher than P4 (9.6 days, range 7- 11). Alternatively, E1G becoming higher than T gives 4-days advanced warning of impending estrus (12.7 days, range 9-17). LH was analysed as a marker of peak fertility to time insemination.

  • And Contraception 10 August 2017, by Sarah Martins Da Silva
    Why these sperm are the key to the future of fertility – and contraception 10 August 2017, by Sarah Martins Da Silva fertility problems are increasingly common. However, our limited understanding of how sperm work and the requirements needed to achieve fertilisation, means that we struggle to treat this problem. Incredibly, there is no drug that an infertile man can take, or that can be added to his sperm in a laboratory to improve how sperm swim or work. Instead couples rely on treatments such as in vitro fertilisation (IVF) and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), which are expensive, invasive, and Credit: Alex Mit/Shutterstock not guaranteed to succeed. Nonetheless, the number of people seeking IVF and ICSI treatment is increasing each year. Despite the huge global demand for both fertility treatment and contraception, there are surprisingly few options to boost male fertility, or for male contraception. To have more options, we really need a better understanding of how human sperm work. Unfortunately, they are incredibly difficult to study in the lab. Not only are sperm the smallest cells in the body (25 times smaller than a grain of sand), they are unique and highly specialised, designed to survive outside the body. Unlike other cells, sperm contain virtually no cytoplasm – the jelly-like fluid that fills a ICSI sperm injection into oocyte.

Their internal chemical messages and signals are Contraception also different to those of other cells, meaning we can't make assumptions about how they work and Although access to female contraception varies many standard cell research techniques can't be considerably across the globe, use of male applied in the lab.
