Assisted reproductive technologies have advanced significantly, building upon decades of reproductive science. Key developments include in vitro fertilization (IVF), gamete intrafallopian transfer (GIFT), and advanced techniques for treating infertility.

Area of Science:

  • Reproductive biology and medicine
  • Assisted reproductive technologies (ART)

Background:

  • Foundational knowledge of mammalian reproductive cycles is crucial for ART.
  • Early 20th-century research laid the groundwork for modern reproductive science.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the historical advancements in assisted human conception.
  • To highlight key techniques and their impact on infertility treatment.

Main Methods:

  • Integration of ovarian stimulation, in vitro fertilization (IVF), and embryo replacement.
  • Development of gamete intrafallopian transfer (GIFT) for diverse infertility causes.
  • Incorporation of ultrasound, LHRH agonists, cryopreservation, and micromanipulation.

Main Results:
