Abstract: Assisted reproductive technology(ART), as an emerging discipline, has developed rapidly in recent decades, and has continuously made breakthroughs in the field of human reproductive health. The development and application of new technologies should be based on laws and ethics, with safety as the prerequisite, and continuously improve the effectiveness of the technology. In recent years, in order to improve the level of reproductive health and quality of newborn population, preimplantation genetic testing(PGT), mitochondrial replacement(MRT), freeze-thaw embryo transfer(FET)and cell therapy have become the focus of reproductive experts. This paper analyzes the research progress on hot issues in the field of ART.

Key words: Assisted reproductive technology, Preimplantation genetic testing, Mitochondrial replacement, Freeze-thaw embryo transfer, Cell therapy
