DOI: 10.1016/j.theriogenology.2020.04.016
Abstract: Ice-binding proteins (IBPs) facilitate organism survival under extreme conditions by inhibiting thermal hysteresis and ice recrystallization. IBPs have been widely used as cryoprotectants to cryopreserve mammalian gametes and embryos. In the present study, we evaluated… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/ijms20184537
Abstract: In both mitosis and meiosis, metaphase to anaphase transition requires the activity of a ubiquitin ligase known as anaphase promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C). The activation of APC/C in metaphase is under the control of the checkpoint… read more here.

DOI: 10.5653/cerm.2022.05659
Abstract: In reproduction, mitochondria produce bioenergy, help to synthesize biomolecules, and support the ovaries, oogenesis, and preimplantation embryos, thereby facilitating healthy live births. However, the regulatory mechanism of mitochondria in oocytes and embryos during oogenesis and… read more here.
