In vitrofertilization (IVF)
A technique in which an egg is fertilised outside the body. For use in assisted reproduction, the fertilised egg is implanted in the uterus at approximately three to four days of cell division for the purpose of development into a baby. For use in research, the fertilised egg is maintained in cell culture until it develops into the blastocyst stage at approximately five days of cell division and stem cells can be removed.
