The first reports of the generation of human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) from fibroblasts [1, 2] were greeted with great enthusiasm over their ability to mimic the properties and function of embryonic stem cells without entailing the ethical controversies and resourcing issues associated with the use of human blastocysts in derivation.

Changes in the manipulation medium, as well as a move from late to early stages after first appearance of pronuclei, produced blastocysts which were statistically indistinguishable from those produced in normal IVF by measures of morphology, ploidy and gene expression.

ES cells are an in vitro cell line derived from the inner cell mass (ICM) of the early mammalian blastocyst [1], [2].

Multiple pregnancy (twins, triplets, etc.) is associated with greatly increased risks of prematurity and very low birthweight, so the transfer of a single blastocyst in all patients was a vital improvement.

Chazaud et al. observed that heterogeneous expression of Nanog and Gata6 in early blastocysts was dependent on Grb2 - MAPK signalling and suggested that the reason that ES cells are unable to colonize the PrEn meant they had lost the capacity to respond to this signal [56].

The key goals were to produce good quality blastocysts, similar to those shown to produce successful live births after IVF, and to reduce the carryover of mutant mitochondria to levels which strongly reduce the likelihood of developing (< 18 %) or transmitting (< 5 %) the disease.

Ideally we will achieve higher and higher rates of live births with transfers of single healthy blastocysts.

The conclusion was that good quality ePNT blastocysts could not be distinguished from controls.»
