It contains hyaluronan, a naturally occurring substance in the human body, which is believed to enhance the embryo&#8217;s ability to implant into the uterine lining.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Does_Embryo_Glue_Work\"><\/span>How Does Embryo Glue Work?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Embryo glue mimics the natural environment of the uterus, making it easier for the embryo to &#8220;stick&#8221; and implant. The hyaluronan in the medium plays a crucial role in this process by:<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. Enhancing Cell Adhesion:<\/strong> Hyaluronan increases the adhesion of the embryo to the uterine lining.<br \/>\n<strong>2. Creating a Favorable Environment:<\/strong> The enriched medium supports embryo development and implantation.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Research-Based_Evidence\"><\/span>Research-Based Evidence<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Several studies have investigated the efficacy of embryo glue.
