Issues of biomedically assisted fertilization before the European Court of Human Rights [PDF]
The development of biomedicine has led to the birth of the first test-tube baby in 1978, and that event gave enormous impetus for further development of biomedically assisted fertilization, but also for the development of supporting legislation ...

Depolarization of sperm membrane potential is a common feature of men with subfertility and is associated with low fertilization rate at IVF [PDF]
STUDY QUESTION. Are significant abnormalities in outward (K+) conductance and resting membrane potential (Vm) present in the spermatozoa of patients undertaking IVF and ICSI and if so, what is their functional effect on fertilization success?

Adaptation of the technology for culturing bovine embryos on commercial media for human embryos [PDF]
We have studied the efficiency of using commercial media developed for human-assisted reproductive technologies (ART) for bovine embryos. The dynamics of bovine cells and embryos at the stages of maturation, fertilization, and preimplantation development

#338 : Insights into the Zona-Pellucida Mediated Selection of Fertilization-Competent Spermatozoa
Background and Aims: Human zona pellucida (ZP) selectively interacts with high-quality spermatozoa characterized by superior morphology and normal chromatin structure to achieve fertilization. Human ejaculate contains millions of spermatozoa with varying

Zinc protection of fertilized eggs is an ancient feature of sexual reproduction in animals.
One of the earliest and most prevalent barriers to successful reproduction is polyspermy, or fertilization of an egg by multiple sperm. To prevent these supernumerary fertilizations, eggs have evolved multiple mechanisms.
