TMEM16A Contributes to Calcium-Activated Chloride Currents and Membrane Potential Changes in the Mouse Oocyte. [PDF]
J Cell PhysiolABSTRACT Oscillations in intracellular Ca2+ [Ca2+]i are essential for mouse oocyte activation following fertilization. These [Ca2+]i oscillations also induce repetitive hyperpolarizations in the membrane potential (Em). The present study aimed to identify the channels underlying the Em hyperpolarizations.

International Journal of Reproductive BioMedicine, 2022 Background: Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is characterized by the homozygous deletion of the survival motor neuron-1 gene. Pre-implantation genetic testing for monogenic diseases through in-vitrofertilization program was developed to provide a reliable ...

A sister of NANOG regulates genes expressed in pre-implantation human development [PDF]
Open Biology, 2017 The NANOG homeobox gene plays a pivotal role in self-renewal and maintenance of pluripotency in human, mouse and other vertebrate embryonic stem cells, and in pluripotent cells of the blastocyst inner cell mass.

Vitrification Effects on the Transcriptome of in vivo-Derived Porcine Morulae
Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2021 Despite the reported promising farrowing rates after non-surgical and surgical transfers of vitrified porcine morulae and blastocysts produced in vivo (range: 70–75%), the pregnancy loss is 5–15 fold higher with vitrified than with fresh embryos.
