  • サマリー

  • Scientists at Northwestern University have, for the first time, captured images of a flash of light emitted when a human sperm contacts an egg. This phenomenon, previously observed in animals, signifies the release of zinc atoms at the moment of conception. Notably, the brightness of this "spark" appears to correlate with the egg's potential to develop into a healthy embryo. Researchers developed a new sensor to track zinc, revealing thousands of zinc compartments within the egg. This groundbreaking discovery could provide a non-invasive method to assess egg viability during IVF treatments. By identifying higher quality eggs based on the intensity of the light flash, this research has the potential to significantly improve the success rates of assisted reproduction and reduce emotional distress for couples. The team's rapid progress from observing this in mice to humans within five years underscores the significance of this advancement in reproductive science.
