Send us a text

In this episode of Taco Bout Fertility Tuesday, Dr. Mark Amols explores the hidden side of embryo development: cellular death. Why do some embryos that seem perfectly viable fail to implant? Dr. Amols breaks down the science behind apoptosis and necrosis, two types of cell death, and explains why some embryos may already be on the path to cellular death even before transfer. Learn about the challenges in detecting these processes and how cellular death can influence IVF outcomes. Whether you're undergoing fertility treatment or supporting someone who is, this episode sheds light on the reasons some embryos fail and offers comfort to those navigating the difficult emotions that come with it.
