21 babies were born out of 253 fertility cycles between 1991 and 2012 Is the equivalent of around an 8% chance of conception Private clinics typically charge between 5,000-6,000 for egg freezing By Sophie Borland and Scarlett Russell Published: 13:03 EST, 20 April 2014 | Updated: 17:16 EST, 20 April 2014 Career women who spend thousands of pounds freezing their eggs only have an 8 per cent chance of having a baby, figures have shown. Private clinics typically charge 5,000 to 6,000 to remove the eggs, then 250 a year to store them and up to 6,000 for them to be re-implanted years later. But between 1991 and 2012, just 21 babies were born as a result of 253 fertility cycles which used frozen eggs. There are 69 licensed fertility clinics in the UK. Private clinics typically charge 5,000-6,000 for egg-freezing Despite this, figures from the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority show 2,262 women froze a total of 20,465 eggs over the same period. Professor Susan Bewley, who specialises in complex obstetrics at Kings College London, said: This is a profit-driven industry, which is fuelled by marketing and positive stories.

Kenwood third-graders take seriously being parents of Malachi, Ericka, Olaf, Cabob and more hollowed-out eggs Jessica Kokesh, Kearney Hub BRECK LUEDKE, 9, built a tote for her egg out of a tissue box. Kenwood Elementary School third-graders were given eggs and assigned with building them a home as part of a project for their embryology unit. Jessica Kokesh, Kearney Hub MALACKI SANCHEZ, 9, decorated his egg, dubbed Malachi, with Sharpie markers. Malacki said he learned that its important to take care of something, even if its not alive, through his classs project.

Eggciting Eggperience By JESSICA KOKESH Hub Regional Editor Kearney Hub KEARNEY Kenwood Elementary School third-graders learned an egg-cellent lesson in responsibility this month. As part of their embryology unit, the third-graders were tasked with taking care of their very own egg. The students blew the yoke out of the egg, decorated it and made a tote to carry them around.

Story Created: Apr 14, 2014 at 5:03 PM EDT Story Updated: Apr 14, 2014 at 5:46 PM EDT (WKTV) - One group of students decided to keep learning, even though their schools were on break. Third, fourth and fifth graders learned all about embryology at Cornell Cooperative Extension on Monday. It's part of 4-H Science Days, and each day is a different lesson. On Monday, the children walked into a room and saw a chicken egg at every stage of development -- from the moment it was fertilized until 21 days later. "This is 4-H at its finest," said Kristi Cranwell, a 4-H educator. "You get a lot of hands on. The students actually get to see the embryos as they're developing. They're learning about chicks and chickens and how they develop in the egg." On Tuesday, Cornell Cooperative Extension is offering a program on textiles, and on Wednesday, the students explore outer space. If you're interested in your child attending, call 736-3394. The programs run from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. More here: 4-H program teaches children science on spring break … Continue reading →

Scientists at The University of Nottingham have published research in the leading academic journal Science that challenges a long held belief about the way certain species of vertebrates evolved. Dr Matt Loose and Dr Andrew Johnson who are experts in genetics and cell development in the School of Life Sciences carried out the research, funded by the Medical Research Council (MRC). It suggests that genes evolve more rapidly in species containing germ plasm. The results came about as they put to the test a novel theory that early developmental events dramatically alter the vertebrate body plan and the way evolution proceeds. The original theory was proposed by Dr Johnson over 10 years ago. His view is that the relationship between the germ line (hereditary germ cells that create sperm and eggs) and the soma (cells which form the body of an organism) also impacts on species diversity. He argues that once a species evolves a substance called germ plasm, germ cells are independent of other cells, so constraints on somatic development are liberated and this enhances a species ability to evolve. As a result, he says, vertebrates such as frogs, fruit flies and birds, which look unlike their ancestors, came … Continue reading →

Embryology (from Greek , embryon, "the unborn, embryo"; and -, -logia) is the science of the development of an embryo from the fertilization of the ovum to the fetus stage. After cleavage, the dividing cells, or morula, becomes a hollow ball, or blastula, which develops a hole or pore at one end. In bilateral animals, the blastula develops in one of two ways that divides the whole animal kingdom into two halves (see: Embryological origins of the mouth and anus). If in the blastula the first pore (blastopore) becomes the mouth of the animal, it is a protostome; if the first pore becomes the anus then it is a deuterostome. The protostomes include most invertebrate animals, such as insects, worms and molluscs, while the deuterostomes include the vertebrates. In due course, the blastula changes into a more differentiated structure called the gastrula. The gastrula with its blastopore soon develops three distinct layers of cells (the germ layers) from which all the bodily organs and tissues then develop: Embryos in many species often appear similar to one another in early developmental stages. The reason for this similarity is because species have a shared evolutionary history. These similarities among species are called … Continue reading →

From New World Encyclopedia Embryology is the branch of developmental biology that studies embryos and their development. The field of developmental biology encompasses the overall study of the process by which organisms grow and develop, including cell growth, cellular differentiation, and, "morphogenesis," which is the process that gives rise to tissues, organs, and anatomy. Embryology, a subfield of developmental biology, is the study of organisms between the one-cell stage (generally, the zygote) and the end of the embryonic stage, which is not necessarily the beginning of free living. Embryology was originally a more descriptive science until the twentieth century. Embryology and developmental biology today deal with the various steps necessary for the correct and complete formation of the body of a living organism. The wonder by which a single, fertilized egg differentiates into diverse cells, tissues, organs, and systems of a fully formed organismthe heart, lungs, brain, arms, endocrine system, muscles, and bones of a human, for instanceremains a mystery that embryologists attempt to unravel. Embryology is the classic study of morphological changes within the embryo. Aristotle is said to be the first person to undertake a study in embryology. Aristotle observed the ontogeny of chicken embryos by breaking open … Continue reading →
