Oocyte–cumulus cell interaction: a key factor in early embryo development
ABSTRACT The evaluation of oocyte competence is a fundamental step in achieving successful outcomes following assisted reproduction techniques (ART). At present, however, conventional oocyte maturation assessment is carried out by morphological observation, which is a subjective method that does not consider molecular features.

Impaired Motor Function in a Zebrafish Stathmin‐2 Knockout Model
ABSTRACT Stathmin‐2 (STMN2) is a microtubule‐associated protein that plays a role in the stability of microtubules in axons of the nervous system of animals. In this study, we generated a novel zebrafish STMN2 knockout (KO) model. STMN2 is represented by two genes in the zebrafish genome: stmn2a and stmn2b.

ABSTRACT Background Salivary gland carcinomas are uncommon malignancies with various histological subtypes harboring fusion genes. The EWSR1::ATF1 fusion gene, resulting from a translocation between chromosomes 12 and 22, is frequently observed in hyalinizing clear cell carcinoma (HCCC). However, the role of this fusion gene in HCCC oncogenesis remains

Mucosal‐Associated Invariant T Cells in Health and Disease
The roles of MAIT cells in health and disease and their therapeutic applications. In healthy individuals, riboflavin metabolites secreted by commensal bacteria at mucosal sites are presented by MR1, leading to the activation of MAIT cells. Activated MAIT cells can maintain the barrier integrity of mucosal tissues in a steady state or migrate to the ...

Impact of Sorting and Catch Media on Porcine Sperm Motility, Capacitation, and Viability
ABSTRACT Background Fluorescence‐activated cell sorting (FACS) has emerged as a powerful tool for selecting spermatozoa of a desired population of fluorescent biomarkers, offering potential applications in reproductive biology and agriculture. However, concerns remain regarding sorting‐induced physiological alterations that could compromise spermatozoa

ABSTRACT A 38‐year‐old woman conceived after intracytoplasmic sperm injection and frozen–thawed double blastocyst transfer. First‐trimester ultrasonography suggested monochorionic diamniotic twins, but discordant external genitalia were identified at 21 weeks of gestation.

ABSTRACT In vitro culture (IVC) exposes oocytes to suboptimal conditions that may disrupt redox homeostasis and compromise developmental competence. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) mediate intercellular communication, and their cargo reflects the physiological state of donor cells.

ABSTRACT Pregnancy loss (PL) remains a major limitation to reproductive efficiency in livestock, with a substantial proportion originating during early embryo development, particularly between blastocyst hatching and implantation. This developmental window encompasses complex processes of lineage differentiation and morphogenesis. Accumulating evidence

ABSTRACT Cryopreservation of equine in vitro matured (IVM) oocytes remains a major challenge in assisted reproduction due to their high susceptibility to cryoinjury, including oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction. The aim of this study was to evaluate the physiological status of vitrified/warmed equine IVM oocytes following vitrification ...
