Scientists Discover Method to Pause Human Development, Transforming IVF Potential

Recent advancements in biological research reveal a groundbreaking method to pause human development, with significant implications for reproductive health and in vitro fertilization (IVF). A study published in Cell explores how manipulating the mTOR signaling pathway allows human stem cells to enter a state similar to diapause, potentially improving embryo implantation timing and success rates in IVF treatments. This innovative discovery opens new avenues for addressing fertility challenges and enhances our understanding of biological adaptability.
