y studying and comparing the RNA expression of pairs of twins where the biological clock of one of the twins is shorter than that of the other, we hope that we will be able to determine the genomic regions where ovarian reserve, and hence the biological clock of women, is located. Since the biological clock is the main reason for the current worldwide infertility epidemic, this research may give us important genetic clues to the cause of this epidemic.
However, for right now, it is most important to realize, even as our scientific knowledge is still deepening, that clinically, we can already solve this problem for women, today. We simply need to preserve the fertility of young women by stopping their biological clock from ticking away, either by freezing their ovarian tissue or by freezing retrieved eggs.
In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a process by which egg cells are fertilised by sperm outside the body, in vitro. IVF is a major treatment in infertility when other methods of assisted reproductive technology have failed. The process involves hormonally controlling the ovulatory process, removing ova (eggs) from the woman's ovaries and letting sperm fertilise them in a fluid medium.
