How Does Molecular Biology Aid in Fertility Treatments?
Molecular biology has significantly advanced fertility treatments. Techniques like preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) and screening (PGS) help in identifying genetic abnormalities in embryos before implantation, thereby increasing the success rates of In Vitro Fertilization (IVF). Additionally, understanding the molecular basis of conditions like unexplained infertility can lead to new treatment approaches.
