Overview of the use of autologous PRP in embryo culture to obtain high-quality embryos. The presence of both anti-inflammatory and proinflammatory cytokines in appropriate concentrations is crucial for optimal embryo development. The differences in cytokines present in PRP added to the embryo culture media of high- and low-quality embryos may alter immune-inflammatory factors, thereby influencing cell-developmental interactions. The addition of PRP to the embryo culture medium in patients with poor prognoses may improve embryonic development. Further analysis of the cytokines contained in PRP and their effects on embryo development will enhance our understanding of the cellular mechanisms underlying embryonic development. (High Q: high quality embryo; Low Q: low quality embryo).
