It is very hard for a man to know that infertility has, in
turn, is very difficult to process the uncertainty generated by not knowing the
cause.

What need Ova Science technology addresses do not try the
conventional
in vitro fertilization?One in six couples worldwide struggle with
infertility, and unfortunately the standard of care, which often consists in
IVF, often fails. Our goal is to address the underlying causes of infertility
and the cause of failure of conventional treatment, which often consists of
unhealthy eggs. Now we know that women have egg precursor cells in the shell of
the ovaries. We are developing several treatments using stem cells from these
eggs. In one of these treatments, which has already been launched, add the eggs
mitochondria. In another approach, which is still considered experimental, egg
precursor cells moved to the center of the ovary to ripen to form eggs during
IVF. In a third treatment, too experimental, we take stem cells and turn them
into eggs outside the body of the patient.
Should these treatments change our understanding of the
biological clock?
As a woman matures, still it has fresh and healthy these
precursor cells young. It seems that these cells do not age for being in an
area that lacks a good blood supply, so they remain inactive. I do believe that
this discovery should change our assumptions about fertility and aging.
Then, to what point in your life she could become pregnant a
woman?
It ends up being a conversation between doctor and patient
about the age at which one can refer to in vitro fertilization, and most
clinics have certain ways of looking at the age limit allowed. Normally about
menopause begins to unravel the matter. Women should receive hormones in
addition to the in vitro fertilization to conceive.
Do you see any limitation on the number of people who can
benefit from this technology?
More women hope to form families. When you look at emerging
markets such as Latin America and the Middle East they are increasingly women who
receive a college education, seeking a specialized graduate traveling outside
the country to receive such accreditation. [For being older when they start
trying to conceive] infertility also increases the rate of in vitro
fertilization, and demand is expected to increase further in the future.
Fertility has become a matter of state in Cuba, a country
without good collateral aged population replacement where, after various
studies and surveys, the government talks about and encourage the birth of two
or more children and a national program pays for treatments fertility.
