What are Ovarian Rejuvenation techniques?

Over the years, the human body undergoes various changes that result in a reduced ability to reproduce, reducing the quality of the gametes (eggs and sperm) and often causing what is known as infertility.

One of the places that patients usually do not have access to is the laboratory in which life is created. This is due to the environmental conditions that need to be met inside the lab.
