Biology and pathology of the oocyte : its role in fertility and reproductive medicine Edited by Alan Trounson and Roger G. Gosden.. Published by Cambridge University Press (2003) |
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.
