What is the difference between “culture” and “Co-Culture”?
In IVF, the term “culture” means to grow or incubate embryos in a defined nutrient medium. In the technique of “Co-Culture”, embryos are grown in a culture medium on top of a proliferating monolayer of cells called “Feeder” or “Helper” cells. The feeder cells assist in the growth and development of the embryo.
