Textbook of Assisted Reproductive Techniques: Volume 1: Laboratory Perspectives (Textbook of Assisted Reproductive Techniques, 1)

Established as a definitive reference for the IVF laboratory and clinic, the sixth edition has been extensively revised, with the addition of several important new contributions on clinical topics, including Artificial Intelligence, gene editing, disaster management, freeze-all cycles, immunology, and transgender considerations. As previously, methods, protocols, and techniques of choice are presented by IVF pioneers and eminent international experts. *Gives both laboratory staff and clinicians a comprehensive resource for problems arising in Reproductive Medicine *Draws on international expertise for practice and guidelines *Presents a new edition of the pre-eminent reference text in laboratory and clinical aspects of Reproductive Medicine Cover Half Title Title Page Copyright Page CONTENTS Preface Contributors 1.
