Oocyte maturation [PDF]

open access: yesHuman Reproduction, 1998
Primary oocytes recovered from small and growing follicles of > or = 3 mm in the ovaries of untreated women, can be matured in vitro, will fertilize and develop in vitro, and when transferred to the patient, develop to term. However, the implantation rate of cleaved embryos has been disappointingly low and when embryos are allowed to develop beyond the

Is there an optimal timing interval between hCG trigger and oocyte vitrification?

open access: yesTaiwanese Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology, 2022
Objective: Oocyte vitrification has been developed as a promising alternative to slow freezing; however, the clinical outcome is highly operator dependent.

Nampt-mediated spindle sizing secures a post-anaphase increase in spindle speed required for extreme asymmetry

open access: yesNature Communications, 2020
Meiotic cell division in oocytes is asymmetric and requires microtubule spindle migration after anaphase-onset. Here, the authors show that Nampt, an enzyme of the Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) biosynthetic pathway, contributes to post-anaphase

Oocyte specific lncRNA variant Rose influences oocyte and embryo development

open access: yesNon-coding RNA Research, 2021
Fully grown mammalian oocytes store a large amount of RNA synthesized during the transcriptionally active growth stage. A large part of the stored RNA belongs to the long non-coding class which contain either transcriptional noise or important ...

Is It Possible to Expand Oocyte Donors by Decreasing Number of Oocytes for Own Use? Insights From a Large Single-Center Study

open access: yesFrontiers in Endocrinology, 2021
BackgroundCurrently, in China, only women undergoing in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI) cycles can donate oocytes to others, but at least 15 oocytes must be kept for their own treatment.

The Function of Cumulus Cells in Oocyte Growth and Maturation and in Subsequent Ovulation and Fertilization

open access: yesCells, 2021
Cumulus cells (CCs) originating from undifferentiated granulosa cells (GCs) differentiate in mural granulosa cells (MGCs) and CCs during antrum formation in the follicle by the distribution of location. CCs are supporting cells of the oocyte that protect

Review: Environment of the ovulatory follicle: modifications and use of biotechnologies to enhance oocyte competence and increase fertility in cattle

open access: yesAnimal, 2023
The oocyte is the basis of life, supporting development from a fertilized cell to an independent multicellular organism. The oocyte’s competence to drive the first cell cycles postfertilization are critical to embryonic survival and subsequent successful

Transcriptionally inactive oocyte-type 5S RNA genes of Xenopus laevis are complexed with TFIIIA in vitro [PDF]

open access: yes, 1987
An extract from whole oocytes of Xenopus laevis was shown to transcribe somatic-type 5S RNA genes approximately 100-fold more efficiently than oocyte-type 5S RNA genes.

Porcine oocyte maturation in vitro : role of cAMP and oocyte-secreted factors: a practical approach [PDF]

open access: yes, 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 ...

Oocyte Competence Biomarkers Associated With Oocyte Maturation: A Review

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021
Oocyte developmental competence is one of the determining factors that influence the outcomes of an IVF cycle regarding the ability of a female gamete to reach maturation, be fertilized, and uphold an embryonic development up until the blastocyst stage ...
