Synopsis

 Embryo manipulations have experienced significant increases in recent years. This has led to the development of new methods for the creation of reproductive technologies. When it comes to changing the genetic material of embryonic beings in multiple species– humans especially– there's a particular term involved. It's called nanotechnology and it's quickly becoming an ultra-important area of study. The medical, electricity and energy industries all stand to benefit from its broad range of applications. That's because this revolutionary process involves manipulating materials in a super small size. It involves altering materials at the nanoscale. Nanotechnology offers a range of uses in numerous sectors like medical electronics and energy. In medicine, nanotechnology has led to significant advances in the delivery of drug imaging and diagnosis. Besides, it has facilitated the manipulation of embryos in a new manner. The utilization of nanomaterials in embryo manipulations has the benefit of increasing embryo implantation rates through assisted reproductive technology (ART) and the implantation rates of  in vitro fertilization (IVF) and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). Another advantage of using nanomaterials in embryo modification is that genetic abnormalities are reduced. Other than that the relevance of nanoparticles has led to new potential in the field of artificial insemination. This book explains the most recent breakthroughs in the modification of human and animal embryos as well as the numerous types of nanoparticles and the benefits of their use in the process. Additionally, the book discusses the applications of nanoparticles in IVF and gene editing. This book also discusses ethical concerns issues and limitations of the new technology it also highlights the potential impact on the field of reproductive medicine.
