This is the first time sperm sperm in eggs without the help of a human being. Expert was just watching the process.
An intracticoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) was first performed by a machine. This procedure is a type of in vitro fertilization (IVF) usually used in cases of male infertility, since through this method sperm do not have to strive to reach an egg, explains the
Among the inconveniences of this procedure, it is the fact that it requires a lot of precision from the experts. “Sometimes they get tired and distracted, just like everyone else in most professions, so errors occur that can reduce the probabilities of fertilization and birth, ”says expert Jacques Cohen.
Now he and his colleagues have developed a machine to try to have this procedure more free of failures. Technology is able to perform 23 Fundamental Steps for ICSI.O was published in RBMO in March.
One of the steps even makes a resource of artificial intelligence. Another uses lasers apra immobilize sperm. In addition, the team used another AI model to Select the two best embryosbased on the aspect of your chromosomes.
The baby was born normally, after an in vitro fertilization made almost entirely by a machine-it was only necessary to have humans to train it (and a professional watching).
It is still necessary to study this technique, which turns out to be too expensive for now to be applied in mass. But scientists believe this is about to change. “As we optimize, normalize and improve the system, we hope that the cost to the patient and the clinic decreases.”
