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

The Role of Oocyte Organelles in Determining Developmental Competence

open access: yesBiology, 2017
The ability of an oocyte to undergo successful cytoplasmic and nuclear maturation, fertilization and embryo development is referred to as the oocyte’s quality or developmental competence.

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 ...

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 ...

Lipid Metabolism Was Associated With Oocyte in vitro Maturation in Women With Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome Undergoing Unstimulated Natural Cycle

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021
ObjectiveHyperlipidemia are common polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS)-related metabolic dysfunctions and can adversely affect assisted reproductive technology (ART) outcomes in controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH) cycles. The objective of this study

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).
