Effect of Mechanical Microvibration on the Quality of Human Embryos during In Vitro Culturing and Outcomes of Assisted Reproduction Technologies

  • Published:
Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine Aims and scope

We summarized the data on the role and efficiency of mechanical microvibration during embryo culturing in assisted reproduction protocols. The efficiency of culturing systems with microvibration in assisted reproduction programs and possible mechanisms of microvibration effect on the preimplantation development of human embryos are discussed.
