1. In vitro fertilisation (IVF) has its origins in the 1970s, specifically 1978 when the first successful birth of an IVF baby occurred. This birth was the result of the work of physiologist Robert G. Edwards, who developed the technique and subsequently won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 2010 for his work. The procedure involves removing a healthy ovum from the mother and fertilising it outside of the female's body, where the term in vitro, which is Latin for "in glass" comes from. Today, this term is used to describe any procedure that takes place outside of the body, in opposition to an in vivo procedure which takes place inside the body. The zygote is then implanted back into the woman's uterus where it can develop normally.[1]
2. A recent paper published on the topic of fertilisation includes a paper from researchers at the University of Pisa in Italy entitled DHEA supplementation improves follicular microenviroment in poor responder patients.[2]
