What is it about?
We focused on embryo metabolism and collected recent papers exploring the early embryo microenvironment in vivo. We found that the local environment of early embryo was deliberately selected to meet the dynamic needs of the preimplantation embryo, and in this way we might reveal approaches to improve the in vitro culture of human embryos for improved implantation rates and pregnancy outcome.

Why is it important?
Focusing on embryo metabolism allowed us to identify how the local environment was deliberately selected to meet the dynamic needs of the preimplantation embryo, and helped reveal approaches to improve the in vitro culture of human embryos for improved implantation rates and pregnancy outcome.
