Notes:
Values with different superscripts in a column are significantly different (Fisher’s exact test p<0.05).
Embryo aggregation was performed and each well contained three ZFREs.
Abbreviations: ZFREs, zona-free reconstructed embryos; BM-MSCs, bone marrow–derived mesenchymal stem cells; AF, adult fibroblasts; MSC, mesenchymal stem cell.
