Successful reversal of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome in a mouse model by rapamycin, an mTOR pathway inhibitor.

abstract：:In humans, the most common chromosomal abnormality is aneuploidy. Because the majority of aneuploid conceptuses die during the early stages of embryonic development, an accurate estimate of the frequency of aneuploidy at conception can only be assessed by directly studying the gametes. The vast majority of aneuploidie...
