Abstract
In vivo, the normal regulation of embryo growth passes by a complex system of signals exchanged between the ovary (corpus luteum, CL), the genital tract, and embryo itself. So failure may result from various abnormalities in and between these three “partners.” Current knowledge regarding early embryo development, is only partial, and improvement techniques are limited if not nonexistent; in various species, viability quickly declines and cleavage stops around the so-called block stage.
