Thanks Claire. Lots of ups and downs along the way but it has been worth it
Wow! I remember when this was your dream Rob People don’t have a clue about how hard it is to get our great science from bench to bedside Congratulations!🙌

Hormone-free infertility treatment....well, here we are finally...it's a clinical reality!! 20 years ago, our old IVM alliance: myself, @jeremygthompso2, Johan Smitz and @MdevosMD made this our aspirational goal. Now Dr Lan Vuong and @TuongMHo got there!!

Super article that one…ha ha 😁😁
New #openaccess review published as part of the Reproductive Ageing collection: 'Reproductive Ageing: Metabolic contribution to age-related chromosome missegregation in mammalian oocytes' by Bettina P Mihalas et al. Read it here:

What an achievement from @TuongMHo and the @research_hope , completely hormone-free ART with good pregnancy outcomes. Only possible with an advanced IVM system. Awesome - we have been waiting a long time to get to this point. Congrats!!
Hormone-free ART for PCOS women | Presented at ESHRE 2024 to a large audience. It is feasible and efficient. Single blastocyst transfer with good pregnancy outcome.

@HillLabSask That is super interesting from many different perspectives, not least how important post-grad students are to a lab

fantastic work @TuongMHo @research_hope . OTO-IVM (ex vivo IVM; immature oocytes from ovarian tissue) is a no-brainer for fertility preservation for a lab routinely running IVM for infertility treatment. Easy peasy !!
OTO & CAPA IVM | We retrieved immature oocytes from ovarian tissue, applied biphasic IVM. We got 22 MII oocytes for vitrification in this case. Really potential !

This is what mastery of IVM looks like #ESHREjc and with zero patient stimulation!
Another day of IVM in December last year and results. All four were PCO women, without stimulation before OPU.

Wow..!! Zero stimulation ART is a thing! This is what can be achieved when you have an excellent quality and very experienced IVM clinic. Congrats @TuongMHo and @research_hope
Why stimulation for PCO women? Today we have 4 cases of IVM for PCO. We collected at least 20 oocytes each, without any gonadotropin priming. Our maturation rate is > 60%. > 90% of our IVM cases have blastocysts for transfers.

@SofiaMakieva @FlorSR5 @OmarRawi89 @VuongThiNgocLan @krammecc @SofiaMakieva oocytes from older women definitely need help, regardless whether IVM or COS-IVF oocytes. But how and with what is the million $$ question, right? In theory IVM could provide an opportunity for treatment that COS-IVF does not. But no silver bullet yet. #ESHREjc

@SofiaMakieva @FlorSR5 @OmarRawi89 @VuongThiNgocLan @krammecc Do you mean age of the patient? If so, it is identical to COS-ART: IVM success rates decline with maternal age and are poor by 40

@MdevosMD @SofiaMakieva @GLiperis @SofiaMakieva. High - no, abnormal - yes. Remember a naked GV oocyte is an abnormal oocyte. In vivo, at no stage are oocytes ever naked. CCs are the oocyte’s nurse cells. No one should be surprised aneuploid rates are higher with Rescue IVM. #ESHREjc
