Overview

Assisted reproductive treatment (ART) refers to medical techniques used to help people achieve pregnancy when natural conception is difficult or not possible, generally involving the handling of eggs, sperm, or embryos outside the body. The best-known form is in vitro fertilization, in which eggs are retrieved and fertilized with sperm in the laboratory and the resulting embryos are transferred to the uterus; related techniques include intracytoplasmic sperm injection, embryo culture and cryopreservation, and the use of donor gametes or surrogacy. ART is used to address a range of causes of infertility, including ovulatory disorders, tubal and uterine factors, male-factor infertility, diminished ovarian reserve, and unexplained infertility, and it is typically considered after other approaches have not succeeded. Success depends on factors such as the underlying cause, age, and ovarian function, and treatment may involve hormonal stimulation, monitoring, and laboratory procedures carrying their own considerations and risks. Research relevant to this topic, within the scope of Women's Reproductive Health, includes work on the therapeutic potential of autologous adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells in primary ovarian insufficiency and ovarian aging, conditions of reduced ovarian function that bear directly on fertility and the context in which assisted reproductive treatment is considered. This page gathers peer-reviewed, open-access research relevant to assisted reproductive treatment and reproductive health.
