SYSTEMS AND METHODS TO DETECT STRESS LEADING TO MISCARRIAGE RISK

摘要

Systems and methods (S/M) to detect stress leading to miscarriage risk are described. The S/M, including modified stem cells, assays and high throughput screens, can be used to identify compounds or other potential stressors that can negatively affect development potential leading to increased risk for miscarriage. They can also be used to identify implant prone versus miscarriage prone embryos for implantation in assisted reproductive technology (ART) procedures such as in vitro fertilization (IVF).
