Researchers at the Max Planck Institute and IMBA discovered that human cells retain the ability to enter a dormant state akin to embryonic diapause, which could enhance in vitro fertilization (IVF). By inhibiting the mTOR signaling pathway, they induced this dormant state in stem cell models, suggesting a potential mechanism for temporarily slowing development to improve reproductive health outcomes. This finding highlights the evolutionary vestige of diapause in humans and its implications for reproductive medicine.
