Ovarian stimulation retards postimplantation development and alters global gene expression profile of blastocysts in mouse.

abstract：:The force generated by the radiation pressure of a low power laser beam induces an optical trap which may be used to manipulate sperm. We studied the effect of the optical trap on sperm motility. A Nd:YAG laser beam was coupled to a conventional microscope and focused into the viewing plane by the objective lens. Sper...
