Fate of fertilized human oocytes [PDF]

Reproductive BioMedicine Online, 2010
Establishing the proportion of fertilized oocytes and early human embryos that proceed to term may help policy makers in their evaluation of when the life of a new human individual begins and in determining the nature of protection to be accorded to it.

Miniaturized Devices for On‐the‐Spot Generation of Small‐Diameter Vascular Grafts

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
An intracorporeal extrusion device is developed for on‐the‐spot generation of vascular grafts with tunable diameters spanning from 1 to 6 mm. The device uses biomimetic polymers and light, to promptly obtaining biocompatible and high‐burst pressure‐resistant grafts.

Molecular Nanoarchitectonic Sensing Layer for Analysis of Volatile Fatty Acids in Bioreactor Headspaces Using a Nanomechanical Sensor

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A porous crystalline sensing layer has been developed in conjunction with a nanomechanical sensor for the sensitive detection of volatile fatty acids (VFAs) in admixture at high relative humidity. The sensitive, selective sensor based on supramolecular design improves the economic viability of anaerobic digesters toward a carbon neutral society ...

Long‐Term Study of Optical Nanoparticles Doped With Yb3+/Er3+ and Transition Metal Ions and their Real Application for Imaging and Temperature Sensing on Triticum Aestivum L.

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
This work shows a study on SrF2:Yb3+, Er3+ water colloid, additionally doped with transition metals (Sc3+ or Zn2+) to enhance observed emission, tested during 22 weeks of storage in ambient conditions. Due to high stability, excellent optical properties achieved under 975 nm excitation, and negligible phytotoxicity, the nanoparticles are applied for ...

Chitosan, Gelatine, and Cellulose Based Hydrogels for the Removal of Potentially Toxic Elements from Aquaculture Water: A Comparative Study

Advanced Sustainable Systems, EarlyView.
Hydrogels made of chemically modified biopolymers are easy to prepare and cost‐effective, they have proven to be effective materials for the simultaneous removal of seven potentially toxic elements (PTEs) from ultrapure and real water samples. The cellulose‐based one seems the best for single treatments while the gelatine‐based one seems the most ...

Exome Sequencing Reveals the Genetic Architecture of Non‐syndromic Orofacial Clefts and Identifies BOC as a Novel Causal Gene

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Nonsyndromic orofacial clefts (NSOFCs) are the most common craniofacial defects. Exome sequencing of 214 sporadic cases sheds new light on its genetic architecture and identifies many candidate pathogenic variants. Furthermore, functional studies establish BOC as a novel causal gene and reveal an unusual two‐locus model of inheritance via the epistatic

Vitrification of human immature oocytes before and after in vitro maturation: a review [PDF]

, 2017
The use of immature oocytes subjected to in vitro maturation (IVM) opens interesting perspectives for fertility preservation where ovarian reserves are damaged by pathologies or therapies, as in PCO/PCOS and cancer patients. Human oocyte cryopreservation

IncRNA‐ZFAS1, an Emerging Gate‐Keeper in DNA Damage‐Dependent Transcriptional Regulation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
LncZFAS1 plays a crucial role during DNA damage response in mammalian cells. Loss of lncZFAS1 results in deficient DNA lesion removal and reduced cell viability. Mechanistically, lncZFAS1 modulates RNAPII phosphorylation and transcription and thereby promotes both GG‐NER and TC‐NER upon UV damage.
