Reorganization, specialization, and degradation of oocyte maternal components for early development
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2023 at "Reproductive Medicine and Biology"
DOI: 10.1002/rmb2.12505
Abstract: Abstract Background Oocyte components are maternally provided, solely determine oocyte quality, and coordinately determine embryo quality with zygotic gene expression. During oocyte maturation, maternal organelles are drastically reorganized and specialized to support oocyte characteristics. A… read more here.

Embryo density may affect embryo quality during in vitro culture in a microwell group culture dish
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Archives of Gynecology and Obstetrics"
DOI: 10.1007/s00404-017-4403-z
Abstract: PurposeCulturing embryos in groups is a common practice in mammalian embryology. Since the introduction of different microwell dishes, it is possible to identify oocytes or embryos individually. As embryo density (embryo-to-volume ratio) may affect the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00404-017-4453-2
Abstract: PurposeSerum anti-Mullerian hormone shows a strong positive correlation to the quantitative ovarian reserve but its correlation to embryo quality is unclear. This study assessed the association between serum AMH as a marker of ovarian reserve… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11684-017-0519-6
Abstract: The activity of free radicals in follicular fluid was related to ovarian responsiveness, in vitro fertilization (IVF), and embryo transfer success rate. However, studies analyzing the relationship between the free radical scavenging capacity and embryo… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-021-02000-z
Abstract: The current protocols of in vitro fertilization and culture in sheep rely on paradigms established more than 25 years ago, where Metaphase II oocytes are co-incubated with capacitated spermatozoa overnight. While this approach maximizes the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/humrep/deac123
Abstract: Fertilization underpins the vital transition from gametic meiosis to embryonic mitosis. For decades, in human IVF, microscopic observation at a single time point has limited our appreciation of the morphokinetic complexity of this process. More… read more here.
