How is Histology used in Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART)?
Histology is integral in assisted reproductive technologies (ART) such as in vitro fertilization (IVF). Before and during ART procedures, histological examination of ovarian follicles and endometrial tissue can provide insights into the optimal timing for egg retrieval and embryo implantation. Additionally, preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) involves the histological analysis of embryonic cells to detect genetic abnormalities before implantation.
