In vitro fertilization (IVF) has transformed the sector of assisted reproductive technology (ART) by presenting hope to couples facing infertility challenges. However, conventional IVF strategies include their own set of problems such as success rates, invasive procedures, and ethical issues. The integration of micro/nanorobotics into IVF provides a prospect to address these challenging issues. This article provides an outline of the use of micro/nanorobotics in IVF specializing in advancing sperm manipulation, egg retrieval, embryo culture, and capacity future improvements in this swiftly evolving discipline. The article additionally explores the challenges and obstacles associated with the integration of micro/nanorobotics into IVF, in addition to the ethical concerns and regulatory elements related to the usage of advanced technologies in ART. A comprehensive discussion of the risk and safety considerations related to using micro/nanorobotics in IVF techniques is likewise presented. Through this exploration, we delve into the core principles, benefits, challenges, and potential impact of micro/nanorobotics in revolutionizing IVF procedures and enhancing affected person outcomes.
体外受精(IVF)为面临不孕挑战的夫妇带来了希望,从而改变了辅助生殖技术(ART)领域。然而,传统的体外受精策略有其自身的一系列问题,如成功率、侵入性程序和伦理问题。将微纳机器人技术整合到体外受精中为解决这些具有挑战性的问题提供了前景。本文概述了微纳机器人技术在体外受精中的应用,重点介绍了精子操作、卵子采集、胚胎培养方面的进展以及该快速发展领域未来可能的改进。文章还探讨了将微纳机器人技术整合到体外受精中所面临的挑战和障碍,以及与辅助生殖技术中使用先进技术相关的伦理问题和监管因素。同时还对体外受精技术中使用微纳机器人技术的风险和安全考虑进行了全面讨论。通过这次探索,我们深入研究了微纳机器人技术在革新体外受精程序和改善患者治疗效果方面的核心原理、益处、挑战及潜在影响。
