World's first IVF rhino pregnancy with help from the MyLab Sigma
The MyLab SigmaVET ultrasound system, developed by Esaote, has played a crucial role in achieving the world's first IVF rhino pregnancy, offering hope for the endangered northern white rhino. With only two of these rhinos remaining, scientists successfully transferred a lab-created embryo into a surrogate mother, marking a historic milestone in fertility science. The MyLab SigmaVET's advanced imaging capabilities and precise diagnostics have been instrumental in navigating the complexities of rhino fertility. The Biorescue project plans to replicate the IVF procedure with northern white rhino embryos, highlighting the MyLab SigmaVET's significance in preserving endangered species and serving as a beacon of hope in wildlife conservation.
