Book description
The human oocyte or egg is the rarest and most rapidly ageing
cell in the body, and yet one that is essential for fertility. This book is
about the development, biology and pathology of the oocyte, and new
technologies to manipulate, enhance, and control fertility. These
technologies are paving the way for overcoming infertility, avoiding
inherited diseases, and creating genetically engineered animals from embryo
stem cells and cloning. This progress would have been impossible without the
myriad of scientific and technical developments covered in this book,
including the ability to manipulate and fertilize oocytes in vitro.
World-leading experts have contributed to the first book for many years on
basic and applied science of the egg, its clinical manipulation, and its
pivotal role in reproductive medicine and biology. It will be an essential
reference for scientists and clinicians in reproductive medicine and animal
breeding technology, and everyone involved in treating infertility.
