Passivated SiC Surfaces for Photonic and Quantum Applications: Balancing Chemical Stability and Surface Luminescence

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Low‐temperature passivation of SiC reveals that optical surface quality and chemical stability are not directly correlated. Ar plasma‐treated and SiNx‐passivated surfaces yield the lowest photoluminescence background, whereas CF4 plasma and ALD‐grown dielectrics introduce higher emission.

Effect of Sperm DNA Fragmentation and Chromatin Decondensation on PLCζ Efficacy in Infertile Patients

Current Issues in Molecular Biology
This study aimed to describe phospholipase C zeta (PLCζ) deficiency from patients who experienced oocyte fertilization failure following intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) and to investigate the relationship between sperm DNA fragmentation ...

Causes and Treatment of Implantation Failure

Taiwanese Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology, 2005
In recent years, a high fertilization rate has been achieved via the rapid evolution of assisted reproductive technology. However, the overall pregnancy rate remains the same. Implantation failure appears to be one factor. In preparation for implantation,

Causes of Fertilization Failure in Repeat Breeding Cattle

Journal of Dairy Science, 1968
Abstract One hundred and four ova were recovered from 150 cows (69.3%), and 58 of them were fertilized (55.8% of the ova). The fertilization rate was significantly lower (48.5%) for cows bred during the first eight hours of heat than for those bred 16 hours later (68.6%). Breeding twice during the heat period (during the first eight hours and again 16

A Biomarker‐Driven Ovary–Endometrium Organ‐on‐a‐Chip Mimicking 3D Multicellular Complexity and Menstrual Cyclicity for Predicting Reproductive Toxicity

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
We present a dual‐organ, biomarker‐integrated ovaryendometrium organ‐on‐a‐chip that recapitulates 3D tissue complexity, menstrual cycle dynamics, and hormonal crosstalk. This platform enables real‐time, cell‐typespecific fluorescent readouts of reproductive toxicity using ANGPTL4 and SERPINB2 as early‐response reporters.
