title = "A microfluidic in vitro cultivation system to mimic event of in vivo oviductal peristalsis",
abstract = "In this study, a novel microfluidic in vitro cultivation (IVC) system is presented for improving embryonic development within a constricted channel that mimics peristaltic muscle contraction. Bovine embryos were loaded and dynamically incubated by a tilting machine that supports embryo movement via gravity. The in vitro fertilized embryos could be cultivated on the microfluidic IVC system until the blastocyst, hatching or hatched blastocysts. This suggests the possibility of peristaltic stimulation for the early development of bovine embryos in assistedreproduction research.",
