Porcine oocyte maturation in vitro : role of cAMP and oocyte-secreted factors: a practical approach [PDF]
, 2016 Polyspermy or the penetration of more than one sperm cell remains a problem during porcine in vitro fertilization (IVF). After in vitro culture of porcine zygotes, only a low percentage of blastocysts develop and their quality is inferior to that of in ...

Hormonal induction of polo-like kinases (Plks) and impact of Plk2 on cell cycle progression in the rat ovary. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 The highly conserved polo-like kinases (Plks) are potent regulators of multiple functions in the cell cycle before and during mitotic cell division. We investigated the expression pattern of Plk genes and their potential role(s) in the rat ovary during ...

Perturbations in Lineage Specification of Granulosa and Theca Cells May Alter Corpus Luteum Formation and Function [PDF]
, 2019 Anovulation is a major cause of infertility, and it is the major leading reproductive disorder in mammalian females. Without ovulation, an oocyte is not released from the ovarian follicle to be fertilized and a corpus luteum is not formed.
