There is still much we do not understand about the metabolic requirements of oocytes and embryos. Their remarkable metabolic plasticity during in vitro culture has hampered our ability to make significant advances in culture media design that would better support optimal physiology. A new tool, metabolomics, may revolutionize what we know about the interactions between embryos and their culture environment. Armed with this knowledge, we may design more effective culture ...
