Abstract:SummaryGranulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) in individual follicular fluid (FF) may provide a non-invasive biomarker of implantation to be evaluated, to select the oocyte and hence the embryo with the highest implantation potential to transfer in IVF/ICSI (In Vitro Fertilization/ Intracytoplasmatic Sperm Injection) cycles.
