Abstract: Not every fertilized human egg completes the journey from conception to birth — up to 70% are miscarried in the early stages of development. DREADCO biochemists are now setting out to find out why. They believe that the fetus and mother undergo a ‘dialogue’ of tests, which may involve biochemical signals and act to control the quality of the embryo.
