Isolation and in vitro Culture of Mouse Oocytes

open access: yesBio-Protocol, 2021
Females are endowed at birth with a fixed reserve of oocytes, which declines both in quantity and quality with advancing age. Understanding the molecular mechanisms regulating oocyte quality is crucial for improving the chances of pregnancy success in ...

Interspecies somatic cell nuclear transfer is dependent on compatible mitochondrial DNA and reprogramming factors [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Interspecies somatic cell nuclear transfer (iSCNT) involves the transfer of a nucleus or cell from one species into the cytoplasm of an enucleated oocyte from another.

The oocyte spindle midzone pauses Cdk1 inactivation during fertilization to enable male pronuclear formation and embryo development

open access: yesCell Reports, 2022
Summary: Inactivation of cyclin-dependent kinase 1 (Cdk1), controlled by cyclin B1 proteolysis, orders events during mitotic exit. Here, we used a FRET biosensor to study Cdk1 activity while simultaneously monitoring anaphase II and pronuclear (PN ...

Oocyte cryopreservation [PDF]

open access: yesHuman Reproduction, 1998
Cryopreservation of human oocytes has been employed with little success in clinical practice, even though it may solve the legal and ethical problems linked to embryo freezing. Various attempts to cryopreserve human oocytes have mostly been unsuccessful, leading to low oocyte survival rates after thawing, and the search for an optimal protocol for ...

A PP2A-B56—Centered View on Metaphase-to-Anaphase Transition in Mouse Oocyte Meiosis I

open access: yesCells, 2020
Meiosis is required to reduce to haploid the diploid genome content of a cell, generating gametes—oocytes and sperm—with the correct number of chromosomes.

Filopodia-like protrusions of adjacent somatic cells shape the developmental potential of oocytes

open access: yesLife Science Alliance, 2023
Filopodia-like protrusions sent by the somatic cells to the oocyte play a role in the structural integrity of the germline–somatic complex, and regulate gene expression in the oocyte and thus its developmental potential and chances to produce a viable ...

The Presence of Immature GV− Stage Oocytes during IVF/ICSI Is a Marker of Poor Oocyte Quality: A Pilot Study

open access: yesMedical Sciences, 2020
Here we investigate whether the presence of germinal vesicle-stage oocytes (GV− oocytes) reflects poor oocyte developmental competence (or quality).

An Eight Year Experience of Autologous Oocyte Vitrification for Infertile Patients Owing to Unavailability of Sperm on Oocyte Retrieval Day

open access: yesFrontiers in Medicine, 2021
Objective: The objective of this study was to provide a descriptive analysis of the clinical outcomes achieved in oocyte vitrification in cases where sperm was unavailable on oocyte retrieval day, and to identify predictors of oocyte survival.Methods ...
