Rockabye Embryo

Posted on Tue Jan 19, 2010

Rockabye Baby, Rockabye Embryo
Apparently embryos appreciate being rocked as much as babies. Scientists recently discovered that when embryos were rocked lightly while in vitro fertilization (IVF), pregnancy rates increased significantly in mice. The scientists believe that this discovery could improve in vitro fertilization in people as well. Currently, the success rate of IVF is only 35%. The hope is that this experiment will lead to higher success rates. For more information, see the journal Human Reproduction.
