    Abstract Preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A) was developed to identify euploid embryos from a cohort of embryos with unknown ploidy produced during an in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycle. In recent years, the ability of PGT-A to improve IVF outcomes has come into question. The goal of this review was to summarize the major randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and nonselection studies evaluating the benefit of PGT-A to improve the live birth rates (LBRs). We argue that the LBR per transfer is more relevant to the individual patient than the cumulative LBR as a means to minimize the burden of IVF by reducing futile transfers, pregnancy losses, and ongoing aneuploidy. The early RCTs demonstrate improved implantation rates and LBRs with PGT-A for embryo selection vs. traditional morphology. However, these studies are limited by the small sample size and a bias toward good-prognosis patients. Further studies using next-generation sequencing found more variable results but did confirm an improvement in the LBRs per transfer in an older population with a higher baseline risk of aneuploidy. The largest RCT to date showed similar cumulative LBRs in the PGT-A and control groups after biopsy and sequential transfer of up to 3 blastocysts with a significant reduction in the cumulative clinical pregnancy loss rate in the PGT-A group. Nonselection studies evaluating pregnancy outcomes after transfer of euploid vs. aneuploid embryos demonstrate near-perfect negative predictive value for an aneuploid result to predict live birth. Putative mosaic embryos had similar LBRs compared with euploid embryos. The available RCTs and nonselection studies support the practice of using PGT-A to identify euploid embryos for transfer, especially in an older population, while simultaneously selecting against aneuploid embryos, without negative impact on the total reproductive potential of the cycle.

    Abstract Purpose of review: Preimplantation genetic testing for the purpose of aneuploidy screening (PGT-A) has increased in use over the last decade.
    Recent findings: Whether PGT-A benefits all of the patients that choose to employ it has been a concern, as recent studies have highlighted a potential decrease in cumulative live birth rate (CLBR) for younger patients undergoing embryo transfer. However, there are limitations to many of these studies and the intended benefit of PGT-A, which is to aid as a selection tool, thus increasing the live birth rate per transfer, must not be ignored.
    Summary: PGT-A was never intended to increase CLBR. The purpose of PGT-A is to maximize the chance at live birth per transfer while minimizing the risk of clinical miscarriage, ongoing aneuploid pregnancy and futile transfers. However, if it harms CLBR in the process that has to be taken into consideration. This review will discuss PGT-A in terms of its benefits, risks, and how it has been shown to affect the cumulative live birth rate within in-vitro fertilization cycles.

    Abstract Cell migration involves the actin cytoskeleton, and recently recognized nuclear involvement. In this study, we explore the impact of chromatin remodeling on cell migration using NIH 3T3 cells and a scratch wound assay subjected to pharmacological interventions. We inhibit histone deacetylases (HDACs) with Trichostatin A (TSA) and methyltransferase EZH2 with GSK126 to modulate chromatin compaction. Our results indicate that chromatin modifications impair wound closure efficiency, reduce individual cell migration speed, and disrupt migration persistence. Live-cell imaging reveals dynamic intranuclear chromatin remodeling and nuclear shape parameters during migration, influenced by both small- and large-scale chromatin remodeling. The altered nuclear shape is associated with disrupted cell and nuclear mechanics, suggesting a crucial interplay between chromatin remodeling, nuclear mechanics and migration. These findings shed light on the intricate connection between intranuclear chromatin dynamics, nuclear mechanics, and cell migration, providing a basis for further investigations into the molecular mechanisms governing these processes.

    Abstract Mesenchymal stromal or stem cells (MSCs) are one of the most promising candidates for a myriad of cell therapy applications. Despite showing promise in numerous preclinical and clinical studies, MSC-based therapy is not yet a reality for regenerative medicine due to its suboptimal outcome at the clinical endpoint. The mechanical environment is a critical determinant of MSC gene expression and function. This study reports that MSC population becomes phenotypically heterogenous and commits to an unwanted osteoprogenitor pathway when it experiences an abnormal mechanically stiff environment, compared to its native softer environment. A method is developed to measure the heterogeneity using nuclear shape, chromatin state, and CD73 marker. Heterogeneity is shown to be associated with a larger spread in the nuclear shape parameters and a smaller spread in the chromatin openness. Subsequently, intervention strategies are investigated to create a more homogeneous MSC population. Culturing MSCs on soft surfaces or inhibiting actomyosin on stiff surfaces can make them more homogeneous, while inhibiting YAP, Runx2, and actin polymerization helps maintain but does not fully homogenize them. This study offers insights for cell and tissue engineers, aiding in the design of optimal conditions and materials for MSC culture, ultimately enhancing their therapeutic potential.

    Abstract Background: Sickle cell disease (SCD) pain is associated with functional impairment, and treatment is often limited to pharmacological approaches with unwanted side effects. Although behavioral interventions exist for non-SCD pain populations, interventions designed to address pain-related impairment in SCD are lacking.
    Methods: Twenty youth (9-17 years) with SCD completed a four-week telemedicine pain intervention (NCT04388241). Participants and caregivers completed baseline and post-intervention PROMIS pain measures and the Treatment Evaluation Inventory-Short Form (TEI-SF). Descriptive analyses assessed feasibility and acceptability. Reliable Change Index analyses assessed for significant post-intervention changes in pain functioning. Paired t test analyses compared baseline and post-intervention opioid prescription fills.
    Results: All participants completed at least one treatment session. Eighteen (90%) youth completed all sessions. Youth (100%) and caregivers (94%) rated the intervention as moderately or highly acceptable on the TEI-SF. Forty-seven percent of caregivers and 44% of youth reported reliably significant improvements in pain interference after the intervention (median T-score differences: 24.8 and 23.5, respectively). Sixty-five percent of caregivers (T-score improvement difference: 19.3) and 31% of youth (T-score improvement difference: 32) reported improvements in pain behaviors. There was no significant difference in opioid prescription fills pre- and post-intervention (P > 0.05).
    Conclusions: The Balance Program is feasible, highly acceptable, and can be delivered remotely to reduce barriers to care. Approximately half of youth and caregivers reported significant declines in pain interference following the intervention, with substantial improvements in functioning for treatment responders. Behavioral pain interventions are important adjunctive treatments to uniquely address functional impairment associated with acute and chronic pain in SCD.

    Abstract Objective: To study the development and clinical validation of the ART Pipetting Robot for the IVF Laboratory (APRIL), a liquid-handling robot customized for the precise preparation of microdroplet culture dishes in the field of in vitro fertilization (IVF).
    Design: A prospective randomized study conducted at an academic IVF center comparing mouse and human embryo outcomes and quantitative measures of accuracy in embryo dishes prepared using APRIL compared with standard manual preparation.
    Subjects: The study involved the assessment of the automated culture dish preparation system, APRIL, compared to manual preparation methods in the context of IVF.
    Exposure: APRIL, an enclosed liquid-handling robot equipped with custom 3D-printed adapters and designed to dispense embryo culture media and mineral oil into microdroplet culture dishes.
    Main outcome measures: The study evaluated the precision and consistency of APRIL in culture dish preparation looking at droplet mass, pH of prepared media droplets, and mouse and human embryo development rates. Clinical implementation was assessed by comparing embryo development and outcomes in dishes prepared by APRIL and human embryologists.
    Results: Compared with embryo culture dishes prepared using standard manual procedures, embryo culture dishes prepared using APRIL demonstrated a greater than ten-fold improvement in consistence (CV 0.46% vs. 6-7%), maintained optimal pH levels (pH range 7.281-7.33 vs 7.275-7.311), and had a greater mouse embryo blastocyst rate (100% vs 90-91%). Human embryos cultured in dishes prepared by APRIL had a higher rate of development to Day 3 (92.4% vs. 82.6%, p<0.05) and Day 5 (19.75% vs. 15.57%) and a total number of usable embryos (50.3% vs. 46.1%) compared with manually prepared dishes, though the last two outcomes did not reach statistical significance.
    Conclusion: The results suggest that the use of an automated robotic system for preparation of embryo culture dishes may improve accuracy and outcome measures while reducing the need for trained laboratory personnel to manually prepare the dishes.
